Summary:

This book, edited by Dina Siegel, examines the multifaceted social and cultural impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic from a criminological perspective. It explores topics such as wildlife crimes, social control, conspiracy theories, domestic violence, and the symbolism of face masks across various countries including Brazil, Ecuador, Canada, and Thailand. The book brings together research conducted by the 'Utrecht school,' known for its cultural and critical criminology. Through ethnographic and netnographic methods, the contributors analyze crime and social reactions under the extreme social conditions brought about by the pandemic. The work aims to contribute to cultural criminology by addressing underexplored themes and expanding the academic dialogue on crime and societal responses during crises. The intended audience includes scholars and students of criminology, social sciences, and cultural studies. Generated by AI.
