In "Making Trouble" leading scholars in criminology, sociology,
criminal justice, women's studies, and social history explore the
mediated cultural dynamics that construct images and understanding
of crime, deviance, and control. Contributors examine the
intertwined practices of the mass media, criminal justice agencies,
political power holders, and criminal and deviant subcultures in
producing and consuming contested representations of legality and
illegality. While the collection provides broad analysis of
contemporary topics, it also weaves this analysis around a set of
innovative and unifying themes. These include the emergence of
"situated media" within and between the various subcultures of
crime, deviance, and control; the evolution of policing and social
control as complex webs of mediated and symbolic meaning; the role
of power, identity, and indifference in framing contemporary crime
controversies, with special attention paid to the gendered
construction of crime, deviance and control; and the importance of
historical and cross-cultural dynamics in shaping understandings of
crime, deviance, and control.
