About the Book

Tthis unique collection, focussing on invisible crimes, social harms and victimisations represents forms a critical perspective on the continuing invisibility of much crime and victimisation in the UK and overseas.and offers new insight into methodologies capable of examining it. Within its pages, tThe volume explores the various "spaces" of invisibility -- the body, home, street, environment, state and virtual world - to develop a framework of typological underpinnings applicable to a range of crimes and harms that tend to remain obscured or hidden through various examples and case studies. It examines the broader reasons for the relative invisibility of some crimes and social harms and how various victims and injustices have become more visible or rendered less so over time and place. This volume revisits and elaborates upon the 'seven features of invisibility' that were introduced in the acclaimed earlier text, Invisible Crimes (1999), and aligns this with current knowledge and research.This fully revised collection, with six new chapters, shapes the lens through which the study and knowledge of criminology and victimology is approached in the twenty-first century. It will be a vital resource for scholars to think critically about research, theory, and policy and practice in relation to the nature and types of invisible crimes at individual and institutional levels.

Review :
"The idea that, if we are to properly understand crime, we have to be prepared to look well beyond official statutes, penal codes and conventional definitions belongs to what is perhaps the most stimulating tradition in criminological analysis. Edwin Sutherland, conflict theorists and abolitionists are outstanding representatives of this tradition, which finds energetic and innovative following in this remarkable collection. A wide range of conducts is addressed, from sexual crimes to environmental damage, from elder abuse to bio-piracy, from health and safety violations to fraud: all invisible crimes causing very visible social harm." - Vincenzo Ruggiero, Middlesex University, UK 'In a world characterized for decades by a relentless harshness toward many kinds of crime, some of the most harmful and destructive actions by corporations, governments, and individuals have largely escaped punishment-or even recognition as crimes. Why this should be so, and the consequences of this neglect and 'invisibility' for human well-being and social justice, is the subject of this thoughtful, wide-ranging, and stimulating collection. Invisible Crimes and Social Harms makes a compelling case for moving beyond criminology's conventional boundaries to redefine both what we study and how we study it.' - Elliott Curry Professor of Criminology, Law and Society at University of California, Irvine.
