Crime involving cars - whether involving offences by drivers or
theft of and from cars - represents a substantial proportion of
offences committed, and occupies an enormous amount of police time.
But it is not always perceived as the serious crime that it is:
many traffic offences cause enormous harm in terms of death and
injury, but are often not regarded seriously by drivers, the
criminal justice system and the state. Other than theft of and from
cars it is arguable that car crime is socially constructed as 'not
real crime' or 'not even crime'. This book is the first to survey
the whole area of car crime. It considers car crime as a coherent
whole, addressing the concept of car culture; considers car crime
in its various guides in relation to issues such as masculinity,
gender, car usage and the environment; considers the historical
roots of legislation concerning crime committed in the car, through
to current legislation and its effects and implications. The book
also addresses issues of crime prevention, and in particular the
role of car manufacturers in making cars more crime proof.
