Random Violence: How We Talk about New Crimes and New Victims Paperback - 1999 - 1st Edition
by Joel Best
From the rear cover
"A major contribution to the literature on social problems, crime, and social deviance, and a fine example of what is currently the best-established theoretical approach to this material. It is laudably interdisciplinary, draws admirably from 'high' and 'low' culture, and over all asks some very challenging questions."--Philip Jenkins, Pennsylvania State University
"Random Violence extends the growing scholarly literature on the social construction of social problems by showing us how currently trendy folk knowledge obscures the most perplexing problems in American society and how it serves to foster a climate of social distrust."--Donileen Loeske, University of South Florida
