All of us have been given a special gift, The Gift of Life. This gift cannot be taken lightly; after all, we are all on a one-way-journey. Therefore, the question becomes, are you living up to your full potential? Our world attacks us relentlessly with who, what, where, and how to be in this world of ours. So, the question becomes, who are you? And, when your time on Earth expires, will you have reached your full potential? Or, will you have fallen into that billion dollars marketing campaign to act, dress, talk, and be just like everyone else. I invite you to take this journey with me and let us together make a difference in this world of ours

Drawing on issues of representation, meaning and politics, this book has been updated to now include material on: green criminology; cultural criminology of the state; current global activism, political protest and social movements; and crime and consumerism, providing readers with a cutting-edge introduction to this fascinating area.

Cultural criminology has now emerged as a distinct theoretical perspective, and as a notable intellectual alternative to certain aspects of contemporary criminology. This title highlights dimensions of cultural criminology - its theoretical foundations, its theoretical trajectories, and its broader theoretical critiques.

In December of 2001, Jeff Ferrell quit his job as tenured professor, moved back to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, and, with a place to live but no real income, began an eight-month odyssey of essentially living off of the street. This is the story of this journey into the often illicit worlds of scrounging, recycling, and second-hand living.

In this text, leading scholars explore the mediated cultural dynamics that construct images and understanding of crime, deviance, and control, examining intertwined practices in producing and consuming contested representations of legality and illegality.
