C. Cooper

Community, Conflict and the State

Rethinking Notions of 'safety', 'cohesion' and 'wellbeing'

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Community safety is a narrowly defined concept that allows states to ignore arguably more serious threats caused by pro-market policies and the actions of major corporations. This book redresses the idea of what constitutes a social harm and outlines a new policy agenda.
