Crime and Inequality

This book examines key relationships between material circumstances and crime, and analyzes the areas of social policy - in particular social security and labour market policy - that are most important in terms of dealing with inequality at the lower end of the income hierarchy. It seeks to explain why inequality is linked to offending behaviour and the evidence underpinning explanations for this, and looks in detail at the relationship between offending and anti-social behaviour and its management through social policy interventions. Crime and Inequality draws upon both criminological and social policy approaches to understand this vital relationship, moving beyond criminological approaches which often fail to analyse the way the state attempts to manage poor material circumstance, offending and anti-social behaviour through social policy. The main aims of the book are threefold: to draw upon the disciplines of both criminology and social policy to understand the relationship between crime and inequality; to provide an in-depth analysis of those aspects of social policy that have a bearing on the context, management and punishment of offending behaviour; to examine government crime and anti-social behaviour policies in the context of social security and labour market policies, and to identify the tensions that have resulted from attempts to address social justice issues while also making individuals responsible for their actions.

London, 1938. You are cordially invited to the wedding of the year!

Pethe Brau

"The Glass Menagerie" yw un o ddramâu llwyddiannus cyntaf Tennessee Williams. Ac er i'w chefndir fod yn estron i Gymru, mae ei phwnc yn dragwyddol ei apêl. Prif thema Tennessee Williams yn ei holl ddramâu (a thybed nad hon yw prif thema pob llenor yn y bôn?) yw'r gwahaniaeth rhwng rhith a phethau'n union fel y maent. Rydym ni i gyd yn byw'n foethus yn ein dychymyg, ac yna daw bywyd bob dydd, a hynny'n greulon, i roi ysgytfa ddidostur inni a gwneud hwyl am ein pennau.

[Translation of one of Tennessee Williams' first successful plays, "The Glass Menagerie".]
