Description
Book SynopsisViolence is an inescapable through-line across the experiences of institutional residents. While Canada closes many of its large-scale facilities, institutional violence continues to spill over into community settings. Population Control explores the relational conditions that give rise to this violence across all spaces of care.
Trade Review“In bringing together diversely situated experts on institutional violence from across Canada, Population Control offers a serious advance in state-of-the-art research relating to endemic institutional violence in Canada. This collection significantly helps us recognize how care and loathing function across different spatial and temporal locations to structure our social and political responses to unruly populations, not only to advance scholarly knowledge but also to support the afterlives of those who have been institutionalized and provide urgently needed evidence against insidious forms of trans-institutional violence that persists beyond the closure of total institutions.” Kelly Fritsch, Carleton University and co-editor of Disability Injustice: Confronting Criminalization in Canada
