Yvonne Jewkes is Professor of Criminology at the University of Bath
and Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of Melbourne. She
has been carrying out prison research—much of it ethnography—for
over 20 years and has spent the last decade researching and writing
about prison architecture and design and their potential to
rehabilitate. She has recently held two Economic and Social
Research Council grants to study these topics and has worked as a
consultant to prison architects and senior prison service personnel
around the world. She has published extensively on various aspects
of prisons and imprisonment, including (with Ben Crewe and Jamie
Bennett) The Handbook on Prisons (2nd ed., 2016, Routledge). With
Ben Crewe and Thomas Ugelvik, she is the Founding Editor of the new
SAGE journal Incarceration.
In Media and Crime one of the field’s very best scholars offers a
critical panorama of crime and media, from prison films to
surveillance culture and cybercrime. As intellectually
sophisticated as it is narratively engaging, Yvonne Jewkes’ Media
and Crime is a masterful must-read.
*Professor Jeff Ferrell*
Yvonne Jewkes′ Media & Crime has established itself as the key text
in this important area of criminology. This new edition
incorporates pivotal developments in a rapidly transforming media
landscape, and will prove an invaluable resource for criminology
students and researchers alike.
