Crime, Harm and the State

Why are some harms defined as crimes while others are not? This pioneering collection disrupts the boundaries of criminology, offering a bold, innovative exploration of crime, state power and social harm across historical and global contexts.

Description

Bridging zemiology, governmentality studies, and decolonial theory, Crime, Harm and the State offers a fresh perspective on how the colonial roots and ongoing dynamics of global capitalism perpetuate harm, particularly in the Global South. Through compelling case studies on topics such as tourism, drugs, non-human animals, food, ecology, minoritised groups, and migration, it reveals how colonial legacies and structural injustices shape who experiences harm, whose experiences are acknowledged, and how harm may be resisted.
