This captivating and thought-provoking book presents an innovative approach to criminology, delving into the intricate ways in which spaces of transgression are experienced, portrayed, and imagined. These spaces encompass a wide range of environments, including those of control or confinement, such as prisons and borders, as well as those of resistance. Examples of these spaces range from camps where asylum seekers and migrants are confined to the exploration of deviant identities and the imaginative realms of surveillance and control depicted in young adult fiction. By employing a diverse range of research methodologies, including oral history, fictional portrayals, walking methodologies, and ethnographic and arts-based research, the book intricately examines the intersections of gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity, mobility, and nationality with both lived and imagined spaces. Through its insightful and interdisciplinary approach, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape our understanding of crime, justice, and the human experience.
