Abstract
Imagery of harm and crime can offer powerful and moving representations of different forms of injustice. The What is crime? photography competition, held in 2008/09 by the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies in collaboration with the Independent newspaper and funded by the Wates Foundation, provided an innovative and exciting way to explore these issues. Many of the entries are showcased in this issue of cjm. Tim Walker's article, (first published in the Independent) presents a number of the photographs.
