Am I using this word right?

Hi guys,

I am inexperienced in using the word 'therein' and wanted to know if this sentence makes sense.

In both texts, the presence of prejudiced attitudes and judgements lead to the abuse of power and injustice therein.


Thank-you

Kinda. From my experience, 'therein' tends to be used in legal and business contexts, rather than essays like in your post.
Specifically in your example, 'therein' is redundant - it's already very clear what we're referring to :)
