Beschreibung:
Dr Deborah Talbot is a Lecturer in Criminology at the Open University, UK, and has written widely on licensing law, cultural development and the emergence of night-time economies in the UK.
Although fears about disorder, violence and binge-drinking have been well-publicized, less attention has been paid to the social and cultural benefits of a diverse urban nightlife. This timely work examines the processes that have led to a mainstreaming of subcultural expression at night, and the impact of legislation aimed at providing new powers to manage and contain the 'social problem' of contemporary nightlife.
Contents: Nightlife and outsider areas in an era of spatial and subcultural closure: recasting the politics of popular culture; Negotiating research into the regulation of 'outsider' areas: The growth, criminalisation and decline of unregulated night spaces in Southview; Urban regeneration, conflict and change; From nightlife to the 'night-time economy'; Licensing and the loss of political and moral authority; Licensing, policing and the informal mechanics of exclusion; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
