Very little is known about young British male Muslims who offend. Qasim gained unique first-hand insight into the multifaceted lives of a group after spending 4 years studying them. He unwraps their lives, explores their identities and explains what role religion and Pakistani culture play in their criminal behaviour.
“Sheds light on a community of young men who are under-researched but overexposed as suspicious, deviant, and dangerous…provides a unique insight into a group of young Pakistani-British Muslim men involved in offending and makes a significant contribution to academic, and potentially, public understanding of their experiences.“ Martina Feilzer, Bangor University
"A book of great importance to the field of criminology. It explores the rapidly emerging academic, political and media construction of a crime `problem’ amongst young Pakistani men in a dynamic, innovative and `real’ way. A must read for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of this much-neglected social group." Stephen Case, Loughborough University
"A fascinating read, providing a close up, rare insight, into a group of people few are able to gain access and fully understand." Colin Webster, Leeds Beckett University
