Abstract
[This chapter introduces the reader to the subject of acid attacks and corrosive substance crime. It begins by defining what acid attacks are and identifies there is some confusion over the concept. Attention then turns to historical perspectives and identifies that acid attacks or ‘vitriol throwing’ have featured regularly in news reports and literature for the best part of 200 years. We then move on to understand the development of acid attacks as a contemporary problem and review data on the number of attacks worldwide. Finally, an overview of the structure of the book and its main content is presented.]
