Murder, theft or assault might be some of the first things that come to mind when you think about crime. Often it is the most visible and obvious harms and crimes that get the most attention.
Violent events caused by businesses and the state; hidden violence against women, children and the elderly; the way in which poverty hurts, injures, and kills; the impact of environmental pollution - all of these rarely attract the same level of political and public concern as 'conventional' crime.
Rather than the usual law and order images of police, prison and judges, this competition invites entries which stimulate thinking about harm, injustice and crime.
