Bouncers: Violence and Governance in the Night-time Economy - Clarendon Studies in Criminology
Hobbs, Dick (Professor of Sociology, University of Durham)
This work attempts to understand Britain's night-time economy, the violence that pervades it, and the bouncers whose job it is to prevent it. Using ethnography, participant observation, and interviews, this title charts the emergence of the bouncer as one of the most graphic symbols in the iconography of post-industrial Britain.
