Reviews for Harmful Societies: Understanding Social Harm (Policy Press - Studies in Social Harm)
"Simon Pemberton’s groundbreaking volume provides a major step forward in understanding the causation and alleviation of widespread harm." Danny Dorling, University of Oxford “In a sense, criminology has been `waiting’ for this original and highly topical book. It is of theoretical, conceptual, methodological and empirical significance, making novel contributions in each respect.” Steve Tombs, The Open University
