{"product_id":"armed-robbers-emmeline-taylor-9780198855132","title":"Armed Robbers: Identity and Cultural Mythscapes in the Lucky Country","description":"Notoriously difficult to access, armed robbers have mostly eluded the attempts of authors to access their lives. Aside from biographies of the most infamous, the stories of armed robbers, as varied, bizarre, and captivating as they are, have rarely been told. This has resulted in robbers being considered as largely homogenous; their unique pathways to crime ignored or lumped into ill-defined stereotypes. Yet their routes into one of the most serious violent crimes could not be more varied. Written by a leading female criminologist, \u003cem\u003eArmed Robbers\u003c\/em\u003e relays the powerful, sometimes amusing, often harrowing stories of 42 convicted criminals in Australia. Their accounts are interwoven with historical events and national folk tales - colonial settlement, convict ancestry, gold rushes, and a sometimes-ferocious hyper-masculinity born of frustration and constructed in forgotten towns - each contribute threads that when sewn together produce a uniquely Australian criminal identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emmeline Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198855133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198855132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Emmeline Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945967517951,"sku":"9780198855132","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25d2072d-8aa3-4bfc-8e60-323feacd77de.jpg?v=1681510774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armed-robbers-emmeline-taylor-9780198855132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
