Countering Extremism
When and why do states define and prosecute harmful conduct as criminal, and when as war or terror? What political and instrumental considerations inform these choices, how and why do they change over time, and with what outcomes? The pressure to avert future atrocities not only informs preventive laws and measures but also impels states to identify and tackle extremist ideologies “further up the field.” There is no internationally agreed legal d…
Civil order on just terms
The central ground of the liberal state's legitimacy is the claim that it alone can provide conditions of order and stability. The state asserts its authority through criminal law to set and police the norms upon which order depends. Yet we need to ask to whom order is promised, whose voice counts, and who is excluded. Legal theorists often contend that criminal law reflects the common values of the polity and holds citizens to account as members…
Governing by think tank? From experts to political ideologues in UK criminal justice and security
The more criminology has flourished as an academic discipline, the more it has retreated from providing useful knowledge for governments. Management consultancies, lobby organizations and think tanks have quickly filled this gap. Debates about privatization focus on contracting out of police and prisons and rarely consider the influence and ‘insourcing’ of private know-how and private advisors, or their impact on criminal justice, counter-terrori…
The Rise and Restraint of the Preventive State
Security has always been a core function of the modern state. Yet the rise of the Preventive State captures an intensification of that role as threats to security and demands for public protection increase, prompting states to prioritize new practices of preventive criminalization, policing, and punishment. The rise of the Preventive State may promise greater security, but the costs of ever more coercive preventive laws and measures are burdensom…
Counterterrorism on campus
The threat of terrorism and risks of radicalization pervade modern life. Universities are no exception, especially as young people are vulnerable to recruitment by extremist groups. Nonetheless, the decision of the United Kingdom (UK) government to place universities and other educational institutions under the statutory ‘Prevent duty,’ requiring them ‘to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism,’ is controver…
Penal subversions
Current criminological interest in the boundaries of penality has done much to shed light on the definition and meaning of punishment. Even the central case of punishment, its aims and purposes are contested, so it should not surprise that the boundaries are also disputed. As states seek to evade the criminal process and its protections by resort to civil and administrative measures, the line between formal and informal criminal penalties blurs. …
Preventive Justice
"States today are increasingly using criminal law or criminal law-like tools to try to prevent or reduce the risk of anticipated future harm. Such measures include criminalizing conduct at an early stage in order to allow authorities to intervene; incapacitating suspected future wrongdoers; and imposing extended or indefinite sentences on past wrongdoers on the basis of their predicted future conduct - all in the name of public protection and sec…
The 9/11 Effect
Security
Just a decade ago security had little claim to criminological attention. Today a combination of disciplinary paradigm shifts, policy changes, and world political events have pushed security to the forefront of the criminological agenda. Distinctions between public safety and private protection, policing and security services, national and international security are being eroded. Post-9/11 the pursuit of security has been hotly debated not least b…
Pre-crime and post-criminology
Conventionally, crime is regarded principally as harm or wrong and the dominant ordering practices arise post hoc. In the emerging pre-crime society, crime is conceived essentially as risk or potential loss, ordering practices are pre-emptive and security is a commodity sold for profit. Though this dichotomy oversimplifies a more complex set of changes, it captures an important temporal shift. As the intellectual offspring of the post-crime socie…
Liquid security
Liquid security captures the shift from the solid-state technology of the criminal justice state to the more fluid, transient and dispersed operations of the private security industry. Despite its promise to sell security, the industry is often better known for the dangers it poses to the safety of people and property. Marked by high levels of corruption, violence, rapid staff turnover and high customer churn the private security industry cannot …

Securing Liberty in the Face of Terror
Post-9/11 the equilibrium between security and liberty has been subject to intense political and philosophical interrogation. The metaphor of balance, although perilous, is so pervasive as to demand scrutiny of what lies in the scales, what tips them, and in whose interest. Though international and constitutional lawyers have dominated the debate about balance, the experience of criminal justice suggests that articulating a principled approach pr…
Criminal Justice
Following in the tradition of the Clarendon Law Series, Criminal Justice is an extended essay on the core concepts, structures, and processes of the criminal justice system. The book prefers theoretical reflection above detailed description and favours provocative questions over simple answers. Its primary aim is to stimulate students of criminal justice to think critically about what they have learned. Criminal Justice challenges conventional un…
The concept of security
The pursuit of security as a matter of domestic policy stands high on the political agenda of many Western nations and is a booming area of private investment. This repays close attention to what is meant when the concept of security is invoked as a justification of public policy or private practice. This paper examines the various meanings and differing constructions of security as a negative or positive presence, as a material or symbolic good,…

Community in German Criminal Justice
The article is prompted by an apparent paradox. In Germany, working relations between state criminal justice agencies and non-state institutions within a locality are often extremely close, relying upon networks of communication and a degree of mutual reliance, which in Britain would undoubtedly invoke reference to the idea of 'community'. In Germany, however, criminal justice professionals rarely describe this in terms of community. Though the e…
In Pursuit of the Vernacular
We need, in the end, something rather more than local knowledge. We need a way of turning its varieties into commentaries one upon another, the one lightening what the other darkens.

Discourses of Community in Criminal Justice
The processes of rapid social and economic change which characterize most contemporary Western societies have promoted ever greater mobility, wrested social relations from localized contexts, weakened family and communal ties and, in so doing, eroded 'traditional' forms of social cohesion. Social order is increasingly thought of as something which cannot merely be protected and maintained but which must, rather, be actively constructed and manage…

Researching Child Victims — Some Methodological Difficulties
Research into child victims has been overshadowed by concern about the physical and sexual abuse of children. Children who are victims of other crimes have difficulty in attaining ‘victim status’ and have been overlooked by academics and policy makers. ‘Indirect child victims’, affected by witnessing or living with the impact of crimes against others, are more hidden still even though their experience may be no less serious.

Women, Crime, and Penal Responses
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women were more commonly convicted of crimes than they are today. Their crimes appear to have been determined more by their socioeconomic situation than by any innate sex differences. Contemporaries reacted very differently to female offenders. Male prison regimes emphasized discipline and deterrence; female prisons developed individualized programs of "moral regeneration." In the latter years of the ni…

Women, Crime, and Custody in Victorian England
This book explores how the Victorians perceived and explained female crime, and how they responded to it - both in penal theory and prison practice. In Victorian England women made up a far larger proportion of those known to be involved in crime than they do today; the nature of female criminality attracted considerable attention and preoccupied those trying to provide for women within the penal system. Lucia Zedner's rigorously researched study…

The Victim's Charter
Help and support for victims of crime have become key platforms of the government's criminal justice policy in recent years. The Victim's Charter , published by the government in 1990, is the first official statement on how victims of crime should be treated and what they are entitled to expect. It addresses, in particular, the three issues which have caused most concern during the last decade: the unsympathetic treatment of victims by the police…
