Submissions

We are always looking for more cases to add to the site. Please use the search box at left to search the site first to verify the case is not already here.

Please note that we are limiting cases on this site to the following critieria:

  • Within the last 50 years
  • Concrete harm that is easily understood (death, injury, major loss of money)
  • Well documented including name, place, date, etc.
  • If name is not available, documentation should be a court record or scientific study (i.e. good reason for anonymization)
  • No "hate crimes" (there are many other web sites which deal with that)

If you know of cases that fit the above criteria, please email them to "submit" at whatstheharm.net.
