Holding Your Square: Masculinities, Streetlife and Violence

By Christopher Mullins, Dick Hobbs (Editor), Geoffrey Pearson (Editor)

This book explains the meanings of masculinities within the social networks of the streets of an American city (St Louis, Missouri), and how these shaped perceptions and enactment's of violence.

Based on a large number of interviews with offenders, the author provides a rich description of life on the streets, contextualising criminal violence within this deviant subculture, and with a specific focus on issues of gender.
