Conclusion: Still Policing The Crisis?. 330 $aThis critical textbook looks beyond the immediate data on knife crime to try and make sense of what is a global phenomenon. Yet it especially explores why the UK in particular has become so preoccupied by this form of interpersonal, often youthful, violence. The book explores knife crime in its global and historical context and examines crime patterns including the ?second wave? of knife crime in Britain. It then incorporates new empirical data to explore key themes including: police responses, popular narratives, and the various interests benefiting from the 'knife crime industry'. It captures the ?voices? of those impacted by knife crime including young people, community leaders, and youth work practitioners. Drawing on criminology, sociology, cultural studies and history, the book argues that the problem is firmly located at the intersection of a series of concerns about class, race, gender and generation that are a product of British history and its global past. It seeks to trace the several roots of the contemporary knife crime 'epidemic', ultimately to propose newer and alternative strategies for responding to it. It encourages a critical engagement with this subject, with the inclusion of some learning exercises for undergraduate students and above in the the social sciences, whilst also speaking to researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. 606 $aWeapons 606 $aCriminology 606 $aJuvenile delinquents 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aCriminal behavior 606 $aYouth$xSocial life and customs 606 $aWeapons 606 $aYouth Offending and Juvenile Justice 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aCriminal Behavior 606 $aYouth Culture 615 0$aWeapons. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aJuvenile delinquents. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aCriminal behavior. 615 0$aYouth$xSocial life and customs. 615 14$aWeapons. 615 24$aYouth Offending and Juvenile Justice. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aCriminal Behavior. 615 24$aYouth Culture. 676 $a365.942 676 $a364.150941 700 $aWilliams$b Elaine$01072534 702 $aSquires$b Peter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502996303321 996 $aRethinking knife crime$92887379 997 $aUNINA
