“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
