James W. Messerschmidt 
Masculinities and Crime [EPUB ebook] 
A Quarter Century of Theory and Research

James W. Messerschmidt’s Masculinities and Crime quickly became a classic text for social scientists examining the relationship between masculinities and crime. The book is completely revised and unique in its focus on Messerschmidt’s most important research and theorizing accomplished over the last twenty-five years, as well as for its emphasis on selected studies by other scholars that represent the diversity of contemporary research on masculinities and crime. This anniversary edition brings together a combination of the ’;old’ and the ’;new’ to examine what insight each have to offer scholars in terms of knowledge about the social construction of masculinities and crime.
