New book: Crime and Muslim Britain

IB Tauris, Marta Bolognani, Crime and Muslim Britain - Race, Culture and the Politics of Criminology Among British Pakistanis (London IB Tauris 2009)
This book looks interesting, although this points to an expensive (£52) hardback edition. I couldn't locate a paperback edition.
