The New Criminology Revisited

Abstract

And he said: Well just take a right where they’re going to build that new shopping mall, go straight past where they’re going to put in the freeway, take a left at what’s going to be the new sports center, and keep going until you hit the place where they’re thinking of building that drive-in bank. You can’t miss it. And I said: This must be the place.... Golden Cities. Golden towns (Laurie Anderson, Big Science, Warner Brothers, 1982).
