Hoods

En savoir plus sur le livre

Traces the roots of Nottingham's gangs, revealing how economic dislocation and the clash of cultures between working class white residents and black immigrants from the 1950s onwards created an alienated underclass who turned to crime. In the 1990s, a far more malignant breed of organised criminal took over - prominent crime families looked to control the recreational drug trade and by 2002, shootings were running at one a week. Hoods is a sobering account of what happens when the rule of the gun supplants the rule of law and fear stalks the streets.
