Books by Susan J. Smith

'Fear' has greater currency in western societies than ever before. This book takes stock of the range of issues of 'fear' which have come to public and academic attention, and presents theoretical arguments and research findings on fear, covering topics as diverse as the war on terror, the immigration crisis, and global disease epidemics.

This 1986 book offers a detailed analysis of relationships between crime and social trends in Britain. Smith focuses on the victims of crime, fear and anxiety through ethnographic fieldwork, local and national victim surveys. This book made an original contribution to social theory and pays particular attention to the role of the police.

Moving beyong traditional concern with pattern and process, this innovative text explores the political and legislative history of a raciala segregation in Britain.
