This book explores the contribution of Michel Foucault to criminology, law and justice, surveying both the ways in which his work has been applied in criminology, but also how it can be used to understand contemporary issues and policies.
In an innovative departure from the much-studied field of 'crime in the media', this lively book focuses its attention on the forces of law and order - how they visualize and represent danger and criminality, and how they represent themselves as authorities.
