How has America's over-emphasis on the pursuit of materialistic
gain contributed to the it's high rate of violent crime? CRIME AND
THE AMERICAN DREAM, 5th Edition is an easy-to-understand book that
attempts to answer that question using seminal criminological
theory.
This book provides first-hand, insiders' perspectives on urban
issues in China, aiming to provide a theoretically informed and
empirically rich discussion of the new social landscape of urban
China in the 21st century. The research reported encompasses both
quantitative and qualitative methodologies, with the latter based
on extensive and in-depth fieldwork. The authors, most of them
being native Chinese, had distinctive advantages in gaining access
to study subjects, and had intimate knowledge of the locations and
people they studied. The book's primary geographical focus is on
southern China, especially Guangdong province. This region is in
the forefront of China's transition to a market economy, and
therefore constitutes an ideal social laboratory to study the key
urban issues that have emerged in the last two decades. Combining
ethnographic research along with survey-based quantitative
analysis, this volume will appeal to students of urban issues in
contemporary China, and it will generate important and fresh
empirical and theoretical insights for the broader scholarly
communities of area studies, urban studies, and urban sociology. It
will also serve as a useful text for graduate courses and advanced
undergraduate courses on China and urban sociology.
