What is The Curse: Harm in All Its Ingloriousness about?

## Abstract The narrative underpinning this book—that before people commit crimes, they have most often been harmed repeatedly and inhumanely as children—begins in Chapter 1. While the criminal act involves a victim and an offender, in this narrative, victim and offender co-occur in the same person. For many, the curse of childhood harm casts a long shadow that affects brain and human development, increasing the likelihood of risk-taking and lawbreaking in adolescence and adulthood. In prison, harm continues. Authoritarian environments like prisons recreate the environments where harm began, causing retraumatization. To stop the harm, a harm-informed approach to custody is essential. A fifteenth-century Arthurian poem is used to weave together the themes of curse, shadow, and recovery.
