This book outlines key developments in understanding social harm by
setting out its historical foundations and the discussions which
have proliferated since. It examines various attempts to
conceptualise social harm and highlights key sites of contestation
in its relationship to criminology to argue that these act as the
basis for an activist zemiology, one directed towards social change
for social justice. The past two decades have seen a proliferation
of debate related to social harm in and around criminology. From
climate catastrophe and a focus on environmental harms,
unprecedented deaths generating focus on border harms and the
coronavirus pandemic revealing the horror of mass and arguably
avoidable deaths across the globe, critical studies in social harm
appear ever more pressing. Drawing on a range of international case
studies of cultural, emotional, physical and economic harms, From
Social Harm to Zemiology locates the study of social harm in an
accessible fashion. In doing so it sets out how a zemiological lens
can moves us beyond many of the problematic legacies of
criminology. This book rejects criminologies which have
disproportionately served to regulate intersectional groups, and
which have arguably inflicted as much or more harm by bolstering
the very ideologies of control in offering minor reforms that
inadvertently expand and strengthen states and corporations. It
does this by sketching out the contours, objects, methods and
ontologies of a disciplinary framework which rejects commonplace
assumptions of 'value freedom'. From Social Harm to Zemiology
advocates social change in accordance with groups who are most
disenfranchised, and thus often most socially harmed. An accessible
and compelling read, this book is essential reading for all
zemiologists, critical criminologists, and those engaged with
criminological and social theory.
