Crime and Social Change in Middle England offers a new way of
looking at contemporary debates on the fear of crime. Using
observation, interviews and documentary analysis it traces the
reactions of citizens of one very ordinary town to events,
conflicts and controversies around such topical subjects of
criminological investigation as youth, public order, drugs,
policing and home security in their community. In doing so it moves
in place from comfortable suburbs to hard pressed inner city
estates, from the affluent to the impoverished, from old people
watching the town where they grew up change around them to young
in-comers who are part of that change. This is a book which will
give all students of crime a rare and fascinating insight into how
issues at the heart of contemporary law and order politics both
nationally and internationally actually play out on the ground.
