Description
Beyond Criminology: Taking Harm Seriously offers a fresh perspective on the nature of crime and harm. The authors argue that conventional criminology focuses too narrowly on crime, neglecting the broader social issues that contribute to harm. The book explores various forms of harm, including violence, indifference, corporate and state harms, murder, children's rights, asylum and immigration policies, sexuality, and poverty. By examining these topics, the contributors challenge traditional approaches to understanding harm and its causes. This innovative work provides a new framework for thinking about social harm and its implications for public policy. It will be of interest to students, teachers, and policymakers seeking a more nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding crime and harm.
