ASC319 Social and Environmental Harms
Capitalism is the dominant economic system of the globalised world we live in and within this world neo-liberalism (the free market) is a defining characteristic that is increasingly understood to play a significant and controversial role in generating harm. This module moves away from traditional Criminological perspectives on crime to consider serious harms ¿ social and environmental ¿ generated through political, economic and social structures/systems and which negatively impact on groups, communities, human beings generally and other species which inhabit the planet. The module examines manifestations of social harms and environmental harms in a range of areas including: 'Gun violence'; 'Human trafficking'; `Ecological additions and Ecological Extractions' .
