Features an attempt to understand Britain's night-time economy, the violence that pervades it, and the bouncers whose job it is to prevent it. Using ethnography, participant observation and extensive interviews, this book charts the emergence of bouncers as one of the graphic symbols in the iconography of post industrial Britain.
