Publisher's Note Public Order and Private Lives is a timely examination of the political forces which shape the law and order debate in Britain. The authors provide a concise and hard-hitting analysis of the Conservative agenda on crime, the deployment of the police, and what they see as the increasing use of legislation as a means of control and coercion. Challenging the perspectives on crime of both the Left and Right, Michael Brake and Chris Hale present a detailed look at policies on crime prevention and punishment, and an invaluable critique of some of the major New Right thinkers on crime on both sides of the Atlantic.
