Trade Review''This is much more than a ‘methodology book’; it re-imagines what criminology might be. I already want to re-read... A book to inspire the novice and long-time criminologist in equal measure.'' * Jennifer Fleetwood, Goldsmiths, University of London *
‘’Dazzling in its methodological, conceptual and theoretical scope, the authors provide a compelling critical contribution to criminological analyses of time, space and place. This book is testament to the fact that criminology can be imaginative!’’ * Yvonne Jewkes, University of Bath *
