Title: Deviant Leisure Explores a Radical Criminological Framework to Examine Neo-Liberal Capitalism. Can Deviant Leisure Be Revisioned by Feminism to Include the Emerging ‘Other’?
Abstract: Deviant Leisure is a radical departure from criminology.Finding its home with the ultra-realists it uses concepts from Lacan and Zizek as building blocks to support this revisioning.It is uplifted and improved by a merger with feminism.Social harm is a key concept in Deviant Leisure.It has the potential to transform policy making.Employing a post-disciplinary space, this article combines Deviant Leisure, feminist, and mental health perspectives.It explores the inherent criminological capacities of capitalism.The research deploys the genre of a Creative PhD which reframes the 70s and extends its theorization through a crime novel as an artefact.
