Crime and Governance in the Global South
This article considers the relationship between crime and governance on the peripheries of the Global North. It draws on examples from across the Global South to show how conceptualizations of crimes are impacted by history, politics, and socio-economic contexts and how crime is influenced by, and in turn influences, governance practices. The review centers on four arguments: Western ideologies and epistemologies are inadequate for conceptualizin…
Adaptive policing for a climate crisis
Climate change is the 'defining issue of our time' and human societies face extraordinary and growing hazards that threaten public safety, social cohesion, and the economy. Heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and coastal erosion are projected to increase in frequency and severity and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long called upon societies around the world to urgently improve their capacity 'to moderate or avoid harm'. In …
Police sergeants and disaster management during Australia’s Black Summer bushfire crisis
The police sergeant, or equivalent supervisor, is the glue that binds police units together, assigns workloads, and distributes organisational power from ‘above’ to ensure that those in the field play fairly and by the rules. Yet very little empirical research has been undertaken to examine the work of sergeants or consider how these roles impact the ability of police and their partners to manage critical incidents, including complex disasters. D…
Resilience policing and disaster management during Australia's Black Summer bushfire crisis
Policing landscapes are being transformed by disaster risks associated with climate change. ‘Resilience policing’ is described as an emergent model of security governance that builds upon established state-based community policing traditions to support the management of these complex risks and hazards. The assumption is that established policing capabilities might be harnessed to enhance disaster resilience. Empirical research on resilience polic…
The persistent countervailing consequences of urbanization
Quantitative criminologists often use temporally lagged variables to estimate the structural forces contributing to variation in crime rates. We elucidate the relevance of temporal lags for cross-national research by looking specifically at the lagged longitudinal relationship between urbanization and homicide rates. Using cross-national time-series data for ( n = 83) nations, we run a series of 10 separate panel models, in which we incrementally…
Reporting ‘African gangs’
This article uses Bourdieusian field theory to examine how journalistic practices contributed to a multi-mediated moral panic about ‘African gangs’ in Melbourne, Australia. Empirical insight is supplied via interviews with journalists who identified traditional media outlets as ‘secondary definers’ that amplified and legitimised this racialised threat construction. Participants attributed the intense and sensationalised media coverage to the poli…
Mothering after Moomba
Parenting can impact young people’s justice system involvement but there is a scarcity of research that examines how parenting practices, specifically mothering, are influenced by labelling processes. Accordingly, this article considers how the labelling of young people from forced migration backgrounds as criminals impacted mothering and maternal efficacy during a ‘law and order crisis’ in Melbourne, Australia. Drawing on interviews and focus gr…
Making Crime a Sustainable Development Issue
Development has long featured on the United Nations (UN) crime policy agenda; however, crime was only officially recognized by the international community as a global development priority following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Adopting a sociological institutionalist perspective, this article sets out to account for how this recognition was achieved. We draw on interviews with senior UN crime policy insiders and docu…
Development as a historical component of the United Nations’ crime policy agenda
This article presents a historical analysis of the intellectual and institutional origins of the international community’s interest in the link between crime and development leading up to the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000. Drawing on a combination of documentary sources and interviews with long-time international crime policy insiders, it traces this interest back to the United Nations’ social defence agenda which emerged i…
Researching cross-national policy mobilities in crime control
The empirical study of ‘policy transfer’ and related topics remains a relatively rare enterprise in criminology. Comparative studies of crime control policy tend to focus on broader structural explanations on the one hand, or more specific socio-cultural analyses on the other. By contrast, scholars from other disciplinary traditions – including political science, public administration, comparative social policy and human geography – have develope…
Framing the 2011 England Riots
This article considers the political reaction and policy response to the 2011 England riots. Drawing on the framework of John Kingdon's (1995) multiple streams approach (MSA) the analysis in this article starts with the ‘policy window’ caused by the focusing event of the riots, and traces the ways in which this was used to frame different kinds of policy ‘problem’, rather than the more typical method of using the MSA to help explain the emergence…
Global drug policy at an impasse
Secondary harm mitigation
Policy mobilities and comparative penality
The study of ‘policy transfer’ has been subject to sustained criticism, in particular by critical policy studies scholars. This critique—together with the rather marginal role that policy transfer research has played in criminological debates to date—raises questions about the continued utility of such research in scholarly discussions of crime control and penal policy-making. However, we argue here that such studies can enhance our understanding…
Criminology and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals address a number of criminological issues. This article accounts for why criminologists should contribute to this agenda in a way that might benefit the international development community. We acknowledge a heightened risk of crime in parts of the Global South but argue criminologists should cautiously embrace this agenda as a platform for achieving human and sustainable development outcomes. Supporting this a…
Speaking Truths to Power
This book presents a rigorous and original account of the effects of globalization on local policing structures, mentalities, and practices in a transitional, post-conflict society. It situates the phenomenon of 'glocal policing' in relation to the convergence of development and security discourses following the collapse of the Soviet Union and raises important questions about the purpose and value of 'Northern' criminological engagement with tra…
Exporting criminological innovation abroad
The aim of this article is to stimulate a critical dialogue about the implications of northern criminologists working to promote their research abroad. It accounts for why attempts to generate impact on an international scale may prove problematic and illustrates potential pitfalls by analysing the content and discourses featured in a toolkit for evidence-based crime prevention developed for the Inter-American Development Bank in 2012. The exampl…
Community policing from the ‘bottom-up’ in Sarajevo Canton
This article analyses the implementation of a Swiss community policing model in Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia-Herzegovina. It accounts for how officers from one community policing unit were able to facilitate cultural legitimation for their community policing role within their sector by linking it to established, subcultural definitions of police work. This was achieved through the officers' interactions with colleagues and supervisors as well as their…
The space between
In this article, I analyse three months of ethnographic field work conducted with the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) ‘Safer Communities’ project in Bosnia–Herzegovina (BiH) in 2011 using an analytical framework grounded in Lendvai and Stubbs' work on ‘policy translation’. This framework suggests that the spaces which exist between different ‘security nodes’ such as ‘Safer Communities’ can be analysed as ‘contact zones’ where differ…
How Publics Matter
At a time when "we the people" are daily defined by the political administration and its mass media as one national family of believers in freedom who must secure their private lives from foreign elements of terror (each of whom, the president promises, will be destroyed one by one), and when public dissent from this administration's offenses is treated as either anti-American sentiment (of potentially enemy-combatant status) or merely personal o…
