About this book

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.

Reviews

'In the depth of global recession this is certainly a timely book...Cooper sets himself an ambitious challenge, yet he succeeds in negotiating a way through a highly diverse range of policy, conceptual and theoretical developments...an invaluable resource for students in the social sciences...' - Social Policy and Administration
