Description  

This volume seeks to bring to light the lived experiences of those who are at the lowest intersections ofinjustice - Indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, refugees, disabled people, the youth, women, childrenand the poor.

It is the fruit of a series of presentations that were delivered for the (In)justice InternationalWorkshops 2021 by a variety of commentators, ranging from eminent academics, students at all levelsof study, practitioners within the fields of social work and 'live experience' alongside victims, esteemedbarristers and social justice activists.
These were presented to an audience of 524 attendees representing 28 countries and they formed thebasis upon which broader, more holistic discussions of the lived experiences and traumas of peoplefrom different Indigenous origins, ethnicities, disabilities and the 'so-called' problematic youth (of alltypes) could take place.Gender, social exclusion, institutional discrimination, the intersectional natureof these crimes and effects, (social) media influence and public perception were also prominent aspectsof the presentations and ensuing deliberations.
Like this volume intends to do, the workshops uniquely combined the strengths and insights of socialpolicy, sociology, politics and criminology whilst demonstrating a historical/cultural awareness of theissues at hand. Presentations from this workshop that appear in this book facilitate a combination oftheoretical knowledge with a deep awareness of pertinent interpretations of the past or present topromote a greater understanding of why political policies and directions have been embarked upon. Inso doing, they - when taken in a multidisciplinary context - help to explain and describe some of themost devastating social outcomes relating to many of the political undertakings portrayed in eachchapter.

This volume contributes to the growing literature on global (in)justice and (in)equality, seeking in its ownunique way to highlight that we are on a dangerous path when we ignore the plight of those who are theweakest, most oppressed and disenfranchised; and that we risk even more when we are complicit in theintransigent and profound injustices they experience. As Blunt (2020) powerfully argued, while for thosewho this volume is dedicated will possibly not be its readers, it is those readers in positions of power andaffluence who need to be reminded and held responsible for their actions and the subsequentconsequences.
