Iadicola and Shupe provide a holistic discussion of violence incorporating a theoretically well-grounded interdisciplinary approach. The authors recognize and illuminate the interplay between interactional, institutional and structural levels, moving beyond the traditional scope of violence to include the often overlooked aspects such as empire harm, corporate harm that have been constructed as legitimate but nonetheless are forms of violence. The relationship between violence, inequality and power remains a constant theme throughout the book, highlighting the importance of them in the production of violence and victimization.
