Abstract

"Lush Life: Constructing Organized Crime in the UK." Dick Hobbs. Oxford University Press. 2013. --- Lush Life makes a timely contribution to social scientific knowledge of organized crime in a period of substantial criminal justice and police restructuring, writes Karen Lumsden. In this essential read for sociologists, criminologists, and urban geographers, Dick Hobbs covers the flexible nature of the criminal market, the constructed nature of the notion of organised crime, and the normalisation of criminality. It is a timely reminder of the need to go beyond official and media definitions and representations of organized crime.
