When a society’s normal functioning disadvantages entire groups of people (for example women, or precarious workers), philosophers call it ‘structural injustice’. A new book co-edited by the Blavatnik School's Professor Jonathan Wolff explores, through a series of case studies, how the law can both create and address different forms of structural injustice.

In Structural Injustice and the Law (UCL Press), co-edited by Virginia Mantouvalou and Jonathan Wolff, law scholars and political philosophy scholars discuss topics ranging across legal status, the notion of domination, equality and human rights law, sweatshop labour, labour law, criminal justice, domestic homicide reviews, begging, homelessness, regulatory public bodies and the films of Ken Loach.
