The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm – eBook

Description

The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm (PDF) delves into the multifaceted concept of ‘harm’ within the realm of criminological studies, establishing a robust foundation for an emergent zemiological framework. This pioneering volume redefines ‘social harm’ as an expansive theoretical lens, enabling a deeper understanding of the causes and potential alleviation of pervasive societal issues. It transcends traditional criminology and governmental definitions of crime, thus broadening the scope of criminological inquiry.

Incorporating zemiological principles, this comprehensive handbook investigates critical topics such as violence, workplace injuries, moral indifference, harms perpetuated by corporations and the state, animal rights, poverty, security issues, migration dynamics, gender concerns, and the complexities of victimization. This essential text spans four thoughtfully organized sections, offering insights from various disciplines including sociology, criminology, socio-legal studies, cultural studies, social policy, and international relations.

Readers will find a wealth of up-to-date and original theoretical perspectives, alongside rigorous analysis of a wide array of issues examined through the ‘social harm’ prism. The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm stands as a vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and students, paving the way for future explorations in the field of social harm, and encouraging critical engagement with these important issues.
