In a major contribution to criminology as well as to urban studies, Hentschel acknowledges the reality of violence and fear but, refreshingly, avoids dystopian cliches in a work that is as relevant for Chicago and Detroit as it is for Rio and Bogota. --Mariana Valverde, University of Toronto Christine Hentschel's theoretically sharp book shows how the pursuit of security dynamically organizes--and simultaneously fragments--urban life.
