Summary
Just Boys Doing Business? challenges mainstream criminology by taking the social construction of "masculinity" as its focus. The book brings together a broad range of criminologists with established international reputations. It comes at a time when there is increasing concern about levels of crime--especially among young men. The contributors come from three continents and illustrate the international significance of a focus on masculinity when looking at crime.
