This book vividly explains how our society, in denying respect to its most disadvantaged citizens, creates the conditions for gangsterism and criminality. Its inequality stupid! - Vincent Browne, Irish Times This book is original, innovative, nuanced and important. It is a major contribution to our understanding of how social exclusion and inequality currently works within late-modern cities. It combines a remarkably powerful explanation of what has gone wrong in Limerick with strong evidence of how to move forward - Professor Mairtin Mac an Ghaill, University of Birmingham Feuds, drugs, poverty and neglect coexist in Limerick with loving families, intimate communities, sporting prowess and pride in place. To really know a city requires observation from several vantage points and the multiple perspectives provided in this book yield a rich understanding of what makes Limerick special - Professor Ian O'Donnell, UCD Institute of Criminology
