Antisocial behaviour is becoming a universally accepted problem and
one that dominates the political and popular imagination. By
providing a new criminological framework for understanding the fear
of crime, this book reposes the increasingly important debate
around antisocial behaviour and the internationally understood idea
of moral panics. Through a critical engagement with theories of
risk, the book develops Furedi s understanding of a Culture of Fear
to illustrate how firstly, society today is best understood to be
in a permanent state of anxiety, and secondly, how this state of
affairs has arisen due to the collapse of traditional politics and
morality, and equally, of radical alternatives to it. Central to
Waiton's thesis is an explanation of the changing therapeutic
relationship between the individual and society based on an
understanding of diminished subjectivity and the newly emerged
vulnerable public.
