Rezensionen
'This book is a landmark in the study of zemiology and social harm. Surveying the zemiological landscape, Raymen finds the concept of social harm to be in a state of disorder, and takes us on a historical, philosophical, political, and psychoanalytic journey of remarkable scale and scope. Arriving back at the present, this book equips its readers with a new set of questions, tools, and insights to categorise and critique myriad zemiological positions as well as a powerful perspective from which to ask questions about social harm in the 21st century. Required reading for anyone interested in social harm.'

Anthony Lloyd, Associate Professor of Criminology and Sociology, Teesside University

'If by chance this book does not receive classic status and act as a new foundation for the study of social harm, it will be yet another indication that the social sciences are in terminal decline, and nothing can be done to slow the descent.'

Simon Winlow, Professor of Criminology, Northumbria University

'New criminology books are commonplace, but theoretically ground-breaking ones that make a significant leap forward in a core area of our discipline are truly rare. This book falls into the latter category. It is a book that will either make you think again, or it will give clarity and coherence to those inchoate thoughts that have been in the back of your head but that you have never managed to articulate. Either way, it is a book that everyone interested in social harm must read.'

James Treadwell, Professor of Criminology, Staffordshire University
