Title: Social Protection after the Crisis
Description: Social Protection After the Crisis looks closely at the regulation of corporate crime and subsequent social harm that takes into account the economic, political, and social consequences of the economic crisis of 2008 and the austerity measures that followed. Steve Tombs lays out clearly the incompatibility of social and economic welfare with deregulated corporate activity, and he builds a rich empirical and theoretical analysis of regulatory reform within the context of wide-scale social change. With a particular emphasis on environmental, workplace, and food safety, Social Protection After the Crisis proposes a radical rethinking of regulation to address fundamental conceptual, policy, and practical issues.--
