(Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology, University of Kent)

Whilst my primary research interest is criminological theory (in particular the relationship between consumer culture and crime), I have also published widely in the areas of youth crime, popular culture, spatial and social theory, and terrorism and fanaticism. As a cultural criminologist I am particularly interested in the various ways in which cultural dynamics intertwine with the practices of crime and crime control within contemporary society. As a consequence, I have written on everything from the commodification of crime and violence in video games, to the liminal spectacle of ‘binge’ drinking, from so-called ‘chav’ culture, to the hyper terrorist spectacle of 911. I also regularly undertake media work and have acted as an advisor for several TV and radio programmes about crime and culture.

My most recent books include and Cultural Criminology: An Invitation (London, Sage, 2008) – winner of the 2009 American Society of Criminology’s Distinguished International Book of the Year Prize (2009); Fifty Key Thinkers in Criminology (London: Routledge, 2010); and Framing Crime: Cultural Criminology and the Image (London: Routledge, 2010). Along with my friend and colleague, Jeff Ferrell, I have also just finished Cultural Criminology: Theories of Crime (2011) a 600-page cultural criminology reader for Ashgate’s Library of Theoretical Criminology Series.

Current research projects include a new solo-authored book on how the digital “mediascape” is impacting on the public’s (mis)understanding of crime; a suite of articles on terrorism from the perspective of cultural criminology; and a research project on how “intergenerational dissolution” is impacting on criminal justice practice.

I would very much welcome research proposals from anybody thinking of undertaking research in the area of cultural criminology or theoretical criminology more generally. If you have a proposal in these areas and would like to discuss the possibility of studying criminology at the University of Kent please let me know – I’ll be happy to discuss your plans.

• About this book : Criminology has always enjoyed a highly productive relationship with the city, generating many important empirical and theoretical studies. But all too often the human experience, social diversity and the inherently pluralistic fabric of city life are transformed into the discourse of demographics, statistics and rationality. This book examines the crime-city nexus in a way that makes sense of criminology’s past and contemporary engagements, including both administrative criminology and the work of Jack Katz and Mike Davis. Drawing on a range of disciplinary frameworks – social theory, urban studies, architectural theory and research into urban consumerism practices – the author argues that consumption is central to understanding the city and urban crime. This book will be of interest to students and academics of criminology, social theory, urban studies and cultural studies.
