This vital book exposes the devastating ways families are treated after their loved ones have been killed by a relatively powerful perpetrator; revealing how families are harmed; silenced by the criminal justice process and invisible in both criminology and the mainstream media. Drawing on landmark cases such as the Grenfell fire, it explores the failures of de-regulation and how institutional perpetrators fail to be held accountable.

Centering the voices of secondary victims-those left behind after corporate harm-it highlights the ways in which justice is avoided, and the effect of this on the families. A vital contribution to zemiology and the study of corporate crime, this book confronts the true cost of crimes committed by the powerful.
