Children and the Geography of Violence Why Space and Place Matter

Summary

This book argues that it is impossible to understand children’s experience of violence without considering how embedded it is within their physical surroundings. Bringing together empirical evidence from a range of disciplines the book links the abstract concept of structural violence to the stark reality of intimate personal harm.
