Austerity, a response to the aftermath of the financial crisis,
continues to devastate contemporary Britain. In The Violence of
Austerity, Vickie Cooper and David Whyte bring together the voices
of campaigners and academics including Danny Dorling, Mary O'Hara
and Rizwaan Sabir to show that rather than stimulating economic
growth, austerity policies have led to a dismantling of the social
systems that operated as a buffer against economic hardship,
exposing austerity to be a form of systematic violence. Covering a
range of famous cases of institutional violence in Britain, the
book argues that police attacks on the homeless, violent evictions
in the rented sector, the risks faced by people on workfare
schemes, community violence in Northern Ireland and cuts to the
regulation of social protection, are all being driven by reductions
in public sector funding. The result is a shocking expose of the
myriad ways in which austerity policies harm people in Britain.
