This book offers a collection of cutting-edge essays on the
relationship between crime, harm and consumer culture. Although
consumer culture has been addressed across the social sciences, it
has yet to be fully explored in criminology. The editors bring
together an impressive list of authors with original ideas and a
fresh perspective to this field. The collection first introduces
the reader to three sets of ideas which will be especially useful
to students and researchers piecing together theoretical frameworks
for their studies. New concepts such as pseudo-pacification, the
materialist libertine and the commodification of abstinence can be
used as foundation stones for new explanatory criminological
analyses in the 21st century. The collection then moves on to
present case studies based on rigorous empirical work in the fields
of consumption and debt, 'outlaw' gangs, illegal drug markets,
gambling, the mentality that drives investment fraudsters and the
relationship between social media and state surveillance. These
case studies showcase the strength of the research skills and
knowledge these scholars offer to the field of criminology. Written
in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and
scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory
and those interested in learning about the effects of consumer
culture in modern society.
