Books by John Lea

A powerful petition against the privatisation of the criminal justice system.

This book is an essential guide if you are working in higher education and seeking professional recognition for your role in teaching and supporting learning, and particularly if you are seeking a fellowship with the UK Higher Education Academy (HEA).

Challenges many of the Left's traditional attitudes toward crime and policing, proposing instead a rigourous, new Left realism

A book which uncovers the truth that lies behind those paradise' beaches in the holiday brochures. John Lea assesses the interplay of the diverse social, economic and environmental impacts and explores ways of managing tourism as a resource.

'Lea has produced a serious and scholarly contribution of great interest to criminologists (whether "critical "or not), to post graduates, as well as the more advanced undergraduate. This is a book that is well written, absorbing, thoughtful and thought provoking' - The British Journal of Criminology
