- Summary:
- 'A Precarious Life' offers an internal view of conflict among one of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in Britain. The book brings to view the disjuncture that exists between top-down theories that guide the criminal law, and norms that make better sense of the social world navigated by residents on an over-criminalized estate.
