American Skinheads: The Criminology and Control of Hate Crime by Mark S. Hamm

redbecca's review against another edition

4.0

An idiosyncratic study of Neo-Nazi skinheads combining theories and social science survey and interviews done with 36 active skinheads across the U.S. Some of his readings of scholarship are a bit reductive, and he makes some bizarre statements. Despite this, he also draws from a very wide range of literature, bringing together BCCCS analysis of subcultures, Authoritarian Personality research, and criminology of deviance. He also refers to activist research on the Skinheads that rarely appears in academic literature, including reports by the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee.
