- This multi-authored book provides an authoritative overview of the contemporary phenomenon widely labelled as ‘acid attacks’. The book contributes a first analysis of new data from UK police data files of over 1,000 crimes and 25 offender interviews. All chapters are novel in that each develops the previous literature on acid attacks/ weapons carrying and also builds new theoretical understandings. Each of the 7 chapters could easily sit on their own as journal articles.
