The politics and practice of occupational health and safety law enforcement

This text takes a critical approach to examining British and Italian occupational health and safety enforcement policies and questions the legal and political principles that underpin them.

It undertakes a comparative critical analysis of these two jurisdictions' health and safety regulatory enforcement practices by focusing on the causes and consequences of the under-criminalisation of these crimes.

It explores the fundamentals of these two jurisdictions' criminal justice systems and political practices, policies and traditions and exposes how these translate into pragmatic social inequality and injustice for victims of occupational health and safety crimes and, more generally, citizens.
