    "Villians" provides a rare insight into local and family traditions of petty crime. It looks at attitudes to crime and law enforcement, and the relationship of those attitudes to the culture in which they are expressed. This book should be of interest to students and teachers in police studies, ethnomethodology and women's studies.
