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.
