Book Title: Becoming Criminal: The Socio-Cultural Origins of Law, Transgression, and Deviance (Cultural Criminology) Book Author: Don Crewe (Author) Series: Cultural Criminology Hardcover: 240 pages Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan (May 14, 2013) Language: English ISBN-10: 0230216811 ISBN-13: 978-0230216815 Book Description Publication Date: May 14, 2013 Crime is perceived as a perennial problem in society. However, criminological study has arguably learned very little about questions of criminality. The reason for this is that criminology remains largely a modernist empirical discipline with attendant modernist assumptions. Primary among these is the assumption that criminals are pathological in their responses to the world around them. This book demonstrates that this is not the case. Crewe deconstructs conventional modernist criminological conceptualizations of the role of individuals in the construction of the world of which they are a part and provides a radically new model of the relationship between humans' way of being in the world and the capacities of society to constrain them. This book reconsiders the relationship between society, crime and the law and includes a foreword from Professor Bruce Arrigo, University of North Carolina, USA.
