About this product

Product Information

Presenting ground-breaking new perspectives on social reactions to crime, and how individuals, communities and institutions respond to acts that breach laws and conventions, this book demonstrates how and why certain incidents function to shape the contours of social order. With an extended treatment of reactions to a variety of problems in different contexts, from the impact of volume crime and disorder to terrorism and homicide, as well as the impact of policing and social control measures, Signal Crimes explores how the fear of crime 'travels' in the aftermath of criminal homicide incidents, and why some homicides impact more significantly upon local communities than others. It also examines how counter-terrorism measures have evolved in response to new concerns and looks at the various technologies that have been configured to provide social control solutions to crime and disorder problems.
