Crime and Culture

Plot

Crime and Culture is a pathbreaking work in the critical study of crime and criminology. In this book Livy Visano begins with an overview of the standard perspectives on crime and delinquency. In the clear style that Dr. Visano's readers and students appreciate, he shows how we have come to understand crime in the conventional terms of rules and rule-breaking. Readers of this outstanding book are challenged on almost every page to rethink views about crime. They will finish the work with ideas modified from those with which they started.
