Framing Crime: Cultural Criminology and the Image

Keith Hayward has two books published this year. The first, co-authored with Mike Presdee, is entitled Framing Crime: Cultural Criminology and the Image (Routledge). In a world in which media images of crime and deviance proliferate, where every facet of offending is reflected in a ‘vast hall of mirrors’, this bookmakes sense of the increasingly blurred line between the real and the virtual. The second, also co-authored, brings the history of criminological thought alive through a collection of fascinating life stories. It’s called Fifty Key Thinkers in Criminology (Routledge).
