The Myth of the ‘Crime Decline’

Exploring Change and Continuity in Crime and Harm

af Justin Kotze

This book reframes the `crime decline¿ discourse and offers a more accurate account of the phenomenon by examining the wider socio-economic and politico-cultural context within which this decline is said to have occurred, exploring the changing landscape of crime and uncovering glimpses of experiential lived realities of crime and harm.
