Opis

Guided by a broad definition of violence that includes interpersonal harms, human rights and psychological abuse, racism, state terrorism, environmental disasters and war, this book offers a state of the art of international research in the field.

Recenzje

'A comprehensive, yet accessible volume, this handbook is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of long-standing and emergent issues of violence. It is an outstanding contribution to criminology: it synthesizes and extends theoretical, methodological, and policy approaches to violence by featuring a range of analyses that illuminate how interlocking inequalities inform violence in complicated ways. In doing so, the collection demonstrates how a critically informed criminology is an important—and arguably essential—partner in addressing complex and pressing public health concerns.'
