"The book presents a pioneering collection of specially commissioned scholarly reports on crime and disorder in the night-time economies of 17 countries around the world. The collection offers a marked change from the majority of literature on the subject by adopting a cross-cultural, comparative approach. Essays are drawn from an interdisciplinary team including many world-renowned experts, allowing readers to access data and critique on countries such as the UK, Spain, Greece, Norway, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Hong Kong." "Through its combination of scholarly research and discussion of police practice this unique, ambitious book will be of interest to all academics, undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners who are tasked with making sense of this burgeoning area of criminology."--Jacket.
