Crime, Criminality and Injustice cover

Volume presents data and analysis that sheds light on the lived experiences of those at the lowest intersections of injustice—Indigenous people, ethnic minorities, refugees, disabled people, youth, women, children and the poor.

This volume contributes to the growing literature on global (in)justice and (in)equality, seeking in its own unique way to highlight that we are on a dangerous path when we ignore the plight of those who are the weakest, most oppressed and disenfranchised; and that we risk even more when we are complicit in the intransigent and profound injustices they experience. As Blunt (2020) powerfully argued, while for those who this volume is dedicated will possibly not be its readers, it is those readers in positions of power and affluence who need to be reminded and held responsible for their actions and the subsequent consequences.

 “This is an important contribution to current debates around inequality and injustice. By bringing the theme of injustice to the centre of the book the text brings to the fore a theme often left by the sidelines in contemporary debates around crime and inequality. The editors have curated a wide range of international authors on a broad range of topics demonstrating the centrality of their core theme” —Professor Paul Bagguley, University of Leeds, UK.
