Social injury first appeared as a concept more than 40 years ago in Sutherland's discussions of white-collar crime as harmful to the state. Tappan and others challenged Sutherland's view of crime as social injury and have suggested alternative formulations. A further area in which the concept of social injury is useful is feminist legal analyses that recognize the injurious and disabling nature of sex discrimination. This conceptualization entails the renaming of the oppressions of women as injuries and the insistence that injury is subject to legal redress. Use of this approach would also contribute to the larger feminist goal of having women no longer see themselves or be seen as 'other.' Notes and 61 references.
