Produktbeschreibung

The chapters in this volume present data and analysis that sheds light on the live experiences of those at the lowest intersections of injustice-Indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, refugees, disabled people, youth, women, children and the poor. The contributors include eminent academics, students at all levels of study, practitioners within the field of social work, legal professionals and social justice activists. Gender, social exclusion, institutional discrimination, the intersectional nature of crimes and effects, (social) media influence and public perception are all key themes that figure in the volume.
