Stuart Hall, Conjunctural Analysis and Cultural Criminology

Stuart Hall's contributions to criminology are explored through his method of conjunctural analysis, emphasizing the complexity of historical contexts. The book links Hall's early work on youth subcultures and media to his later studies on racial identities and racism, contrasting it with more theoretical approaches in cultural criminology. It argues that neglecting conjunctural analysis is a missed opportunity. Additionally, the text applies this method to contemporary issues like Brexit and Trump's electoral defeat, making it a valuable resource for students of criminology and cultural studies.
