Crime and the City: Essays in Memory of John Barron Mays

by David Downes (Editor)

These essays reflect the stress on the local, urban, social world conveyed by John Mays as essential for an understanding of crime and delinquency. It was Mays' work which opened up what has since become familiar delinquency in its place, neighbourhood and social setting.
