The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm – eBook

The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm (PDF) explores the concept of ‘harm’ in criminological scholarship and lays the foundation for a future zemiological agenda. ‘Social harm’ as a theoretical construct has become established as an alternative, broader lens through which to understand the causation and alleviation of widespread harm in society, thus moving beyond criminology and state definitions of crime and extending the range of criminological research. Applying zemiological concepts, this book comprehensively explores topics including violence, workplace injury, moral indifference, corporate and state harms, animal rights, poverty, security, migration, gender, and victimisation. This definitive work covers theory, research, scholarship, and future visions across four sections, and includes contributions from areas such as sociology, criminology, socio-legal and cultural studies, social policy, and international relations. It offers readers up-to-date, original theoretical perspectives and analysis of a broad range of issues from a ‘social harm’ perspective.
