Covert violence occurs in all social institutionsincluding families and close relationships, education, workplaces, politics, mass media, and healthcareeach with its own unique power dynamics that shape the incidence and patterns of these vicious acts. This book focuses on the types of surreptitious murder and mayhem that perpetrators intend to go unnoticed by would-be victimsuntil its too late. When such attacks are carried out with efficiency and competence, they may be disguised in official records as the result of illness, accident, or intentional self-harm, only on occasion to be later reclassified as the brutal crimes they are.



This compelling and much-needed book is for all those who seek to understandand strive to preventviolence in society.

Arvustused

"Covert Violence reminds us that science is never settled. Just when we think we know something pretty well, in this case about violence, we are reminded we do not." Social Forces This wide-ranging book makes a fundamentally important point about the necessity of interpreting official murder statistics with caution, and for this reason Covert Violence should be required reading for all criminal justice scholars.
