Description
Hoods: The Gangs of Nottingham is a study of the roots of Nottingham's gangs, tracing the impact of economic dislocation and cultural clashes on the city's working-class residents from the 1950s onwards. As the city's underworld evolved, so too did the nature of the crime, with the recreational drug trade becoming a major concern by the 1990s.
The book provides a sobering account of the consequences of organized crime taking hold, with shootings becoming a regular occurrence by 2002. This is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between crime and society, and the devastating impact it can have on communities.
Written by Carl Fellstrom, Hoods offers a nuanced and insightful look at the complex issues surrounding organized crime in Nottingham. With its focus on the social and economic factors that drive crime, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of criminology.
