Describes the sources of late modern vertigo as twofold: insecurities of status and of economic position. This book engages with the ways in which modern society attempts to explain deviant behaviour - whether it be crime, terrorism or riots - in terms of motivations and desires separate and distinct from those of the 'normal'.
