Description
Understanding social harm has long been a topic of interest in critical criminology, but recent years have seen it emerge as a distinct field of study. Despite its growing importance, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge, particularly when it comes to defining and measuring social harm.
This book seeks to address these omissions by providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the concept of social harm. It explores why some capitalist societies appear more harmful than others and provides a platform for future debates in this area. With its interdisciplinary approach, this book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers across fields such as criminology, sociology, social policy, socio-legal studies, and geography.
