In 1845, Friedrich Engels identified how the living and working conditions experienced by English workers sent them prematurely to the grave, arguing that those responsible for these conditions -- ruling authorities and the bourgeoisie -- were committing social murder. The concept remained, for the most part, dormant in academic journals through the 1900s. Since 2000, there has been a revival of the social murder concept with its growth especially evident in the UK over the last decade as a result of the Grenfell Tower Fire and the effects of austerity imposed by successive Conservative governments. The purpose of this paper is to document the reemergence of the concept of social murder in academic journal articles. To do so we conducted a scoping review of content applying the social murder concept since 1900 in relation to health and well-being. We identified two primary concepts of social murder: social murder as resulting from capitalist exploitation and social murder as resulting from bad public policy across the domains of working conditions, living conditions, poverty, housing, race, health inequalities, crime and violence, neoliberalism, gender, food, social assistance, deregulation and austerity. We consider reasons for the reemergence of Engels’ social murder concept and the role it can play in resisting the forces responsible for the living and working conditions that kill.

1845 年，弗里德里希·恩格斯 (Friedrich Engels) 确定了英国工人所经历的生活和工作条件如何将他们过早地送入坟墓，并认为对这些条件负责的人——统治当局和资产阶级——正在实施社会谋杀。直到 1900 年代，这个概念在很大程度上仍然在学术期刊中处于休眠状态。自 2000 年以来，由于格伦费尔塔大火和历届保守党政府实施的紧缩政策的影响，过去十年在英国的社会谋杀概念得到了复兴，其增长尤为明显。本文的目的是记录学术期刊文章中重新出现的社会谋杀概念。为此，我们对自 1900 年以来在健康和福祉方面应用社会谋杀概念的内容进行了范围审查。我们确定了社会谋杀的两个主要概念：由资本主义剥削引起的社会谋杀和由工作条件、生活条件、贫困、住房、种族、健康不平等、犯罪和暴力、新自由主义、性别、食品、社会援助、放松管制和紧缩。我们考虑了恩格斯的社会谋杀概念重新出现的原因，以及它在抵制造成杀人的生活和工作条件的力量方面可以发挥的作用。食品、社会援助、放松管制和紧缩。我们考虑了恩格斯的社会谋杀概念重新出现的原因，以及它在抵制造成杀人的生活和工作条件的力量方面可以发挥的作用。食品、社会援助、放松管制和紧缩。我们考虑了恩格斯的社会谋杀概念重新出现的原因，以及它在抵制造成杀人的生活和工作条件的力量方面可以发挥的作用。
