Written in an authoritative yet accessible style, it will become a classic case study of the contradictions of this UK government's ambitious if flawed governmental experiment in local crime control. Gilling's careful and penetrating diagnosis of government rhetoric and policy is measured, provocative and ultimately profoundly disturbing. 'Must read' for students, teachers, researchers and, you'd hope, practitioners and policy makers in the UK and beyond.' - Professor Gordon Hughes, Cardiff University About the Author Daniel Gilling is Associate Professor in Criminal Justice Studies at the Uni.
