"This was several times with that damn cribbage board. I hate
cribbage boards to this very day. They never beat us on the arms or
legs or stuff, it was always on the bottom of the feet, I couldn't
figure it out." Brian L., Huronia Regional Centre Survivor Over the
past two decades, the public has borne witness to ongoing
revelations of shocking, intense, and even sadistic forms of
violence in spaces meant to provide care. This has been
particularly true in institutions designed to care for people with
disabilities. In this work, the authors not only describe
institutional violence, but work to make sense of how and why
institutional violence within care settings is both so pervasive
and so profound. Drawing on a wide range of primary data, including
oral histories of institutional survivors and staff, ethnographic
observation, legal proceedings and archival data, this book asks:
What does institutional violence look like in practice and how
might it be usefully categorized? How have extreme forms violence
and neglect come to be the cultural norm across institutions? What
organizational strategies in institutions foster the abdication of
personal morality and therefore violence? How is institutional care
the crucial "first step" in creating a culture that accepts
violence as the norm? This highly interdisciplinary work develops
scholarly analysis of the history and importance of institutional
violence and, as such, is of particular interest to scholars whose
work engages with issues of disability, health care law and policy,
violence, incarceration, organizational behaviour, and critical
theory.
