Young, Muslim and Criminal Reviews

Sheds light on a community of young men who are under-researched but overexposed as suspicious, deviant, and dangerousprovides a unique insight into a group of young Pakistani-British Muslim men involved in offending and makes a significant contribution to academic, and potentially, public understanding of their experiences. Martina Feilzer, Bangor University
"A book of great importance to the field of criminology. It explores the rapidly emerging academic, political and media construction of a crime `problem amongst young Pakistani men in a dynamic, innovative and `real way. A must read for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of this much-neglected social group." Stephen Case, Loughborough University
"A fascinating read, providing a close up, rare insight, into a group of people few are able to gain access and fully understand." Colin Webster, Leeds Beckett University
