"Chaos! Apocalypse! Doom! In this volume Majid Yar takes up these most spectacular and enduring images of human mortality and masterfully traces them to their most familiar intersections crime, violence and disorder. Tangling with zombies, mutants and monsters of all kinds, Yar's vast and lively repertoire of political and cultural theory provides all the ammunition necessary to fight through our own apocalyptic fantasies and to imagine worlds less fraught by suffering and injustice. Whether you are a theoretically informed criminologist or simply hoping to decipher the nightly news, Crime and the Imaginary of Disaster will not disappoint. Read it! Get prepared!" - Travis Linnemann, School of Justice Studies, Eastern Kentucky University
