Introduction: crime and culture -- The boulevard press discovers a new crime -- From under every rock: hooligans in revolution, 1905-1907 -- Ripples spread: to the village, the law, and the arts -- Nobody's children: juvenile crime, youth culture, and the roots of hooliganism -- Violence and poverty in a city divided.

In this pioneering analysis of diffuse underclass anger that simmers in many societies, Joan Neuberger takes us to the streets of St. Petersburg in 1900-1914 to show us how the phenomenon labeled hooliganism came to symbolize all that was wrong with the modern city: increasing hostility between classes, society's failure to "civilize" the poor, the desperation of the destitute, and the proliferation of violence in public spaces.--Publisher's description.
