Review:
About the Author:
“The most far-reaching, provocative, and profound analysis of violent conduct to be found in the criminological literature.”
―Norman K. Denzin, author of The Research Act
“Represents a profoundly creative and original theoretical contribution, on a par with any other criminological development this century. It is more empirically, methodologically, and theoretically sophisticated than most of the erstwhile ‘famous’ researches of the ‘big names’ in the criminological field.”
―John M. Johnson, Symbolic Interaction
Lonnie H. Athens is a professor of criminal justice at Seton Hall University. He is the author of Domination and Subjugation in Everday Life and Acts of Actors Revisited. He recieved the George Herbert Mead Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction for lifetime achievement.
