The Wild Bunch: Gods, Guns and Gangs

Sibley's literary essay is amazing for the number of elements he brings together to construct his viewpoint on crime and violence. Usually, when one writes about crime and violence, the arguments are based solely on a social science perspective. Taking off on a different path, Sibley writes from a humanities point of view, focusing on film criticism, history, biblical interpretation, gender studies, observations on contemporary day-to-day life, and movements in the political sphere.
