LOCKDOWN - DANIEL BRIGGS LUKE TELFORD ANTHONY L...

This book asks whether the decision to lock down the world was justified in proportion to the
potential harms and risks generated by the Covid-19 virus. Drawing on global  empirical data 
it explores and exposes the social harms induced by lockdowns  many of which are 'hidden' 
including joblessness  mental health problems and an intensification of societal inequalities
and divisions. It offers data-driven case studies on harms such as domestic violence  child
abuse  the distress of being ordered to stay at home  and the numerous harms associated with
the new wealth industries. It explores why some people weren't compliant with lockdown
restrictions and examines the already vulnerable social groups who were disproportionally
affected by lockdown including those who were locked in (care home residents)  locked up
(prisoners)  and locked out (migrant workers  refugees). The book closes with a brief
discussion on what the future might look like as we enter a post-Covid world  drawing on
cutting-edge social theory.
