About this book
Comprising two parts, the first explores the relationship between crime and harm and criminology and zemiology, and the second explores the intersections of crime and harm through various lenses, including those trained on probation; global mobility; sexuality and gender; war and gendered violence; fashion counterfeiting; and the harms of the service economy. An exciting and wide-reaching volume written by world-renowned scholars, this collection is a must-read for students, academics, and policy makers in the fields of law, criminology, sociology, social policy, criminal justice, and social justice.
Reviews
“This book nudges knowledge forward on the relationships between systemic, structural and interpersonal forms of crime and harm. From the scholarly but always heartfelt reflections in the early chapters, to the chapters taking the reader’s zemiological gaze in to war, murder, ‘extreme’ pornography, borders, fashion, rehabilitation and environmental harm-doing, this book takes suffering seriously.” (Pamela Davies, Professor of Criminology, Northumbria University, UK)
“This superb collection probes points of contact as well as tensions between zemiology and criminology, and between grasping complex patterns of harm and doing something about them. Authors explore the wilful ignorances, silences and omissions that both generate specific contemporary harms and nurture their acceptance. The book can help us better understand exactly what we are up to as critical criminologists in these times.” (Lois Presser, Professor of Sociology, University of Tennessee, USA)
“This book offers a refreshing new way of understanding the relationship between crime and social harm and between criminology and zemiology. Each chapter is thought provoking and timely. Much can be learned from reading this original anthology, and it is destined to stimulate meaningful debates within international critical criminological circles.” (Walter S. DeKeseredy is Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence, and Professor of Sociology)
