Book Description:
|
Drawing on the first communities-based crime survey in Northern Ireland, this book explores how crime, victimization, policing, personal safety and fear of crime are conditioned by the varying experiences of living in different communities. It offers a direct critique of the 'identikit' citizen often portrayed in victim surveys and suggests that notions of civil society, community and locale are crucial to understanding the 'lived reality' of crime.
