Living Off Crime describes highly active property offenders who
commit themselves to careers in serious property crimes such as
burglary and armed robbery. This book takes the unique approach of
situating these criminal careers within the fundamental
sociological concepts of social class, criminal subcultures, and
consciousness. Tunnell brings class back into the dialogue of
property crime among the highly criminally active and economically
marginalized, and gives considerable treatment to the subcultural
values of this group. Repetitive property offenders also
demonstrate a particular consciousness, which is used as an
organizing motif throughout the book. Their consciousness indicates
little of class commitment or anti-systemic recognition and
strategy, but rather is described as street-centered, hedonistic
anarchy as indicated by their disparate crimes against lower- and
working-class individuals. The book does not ignore the politics of
their behaviors; rather it describes their actions as political yet
absent politicized class-based consciousness and strategies.
