Publisher's Synopsis

Americans find street crime terrifying. Yet we seek it out in virtually all of our media: books, newspapers, television, films, and the theatre. This book confronts this cultural contradiction and asks why street crime is regarded in the trivializing images of cops and robbers that attribute crime to the willful acts of flawed individuals.
