| Abstract | Invisible Crimes and Social Harms explores the reasons for the continuing invisibility of much crime and harm and the lack of adequate response, explains how various injustices have become more visible or rendered less so over time and place, and explores what can be done to connect the intellectual with the search for social justice and social policy.--Provided by publisher |
