Goliath

by Beatrix Campbell

Gift inscription on FEP. In this book the author argues that the violence, joyriding and urban rioting of 1991 reveal a new face of late 20th-century Britain. Through her conversations with joyriders, offenders, police officers, community activists and "ordinary" citizens, the author probes the new forms of offending, defending and spending and brings a feminist analysis to the facts of daily existence
