Zemiology Beyond the Critique of Capitalism: Harm, Colonialism and Decolonisation
Zemiology is an evolving critical perspective that focuses on understanding and responding to social harm, particularly the ‘lawful but awful’ acts and/or omissions by powerful actors such as states, both locally and globally (e.g., Hillyard et al., 2004). Therefore, it challenges the doxas of mainstream criminology, which hold that legally defined crimes depict and address the most serious harms in each society. Zemiology underscores the sociall…
The Modern State as Colonial
This chapter conceptualises a globally attentive zemiology, drawing on Back (2009), who calls for global attentivity in sociology. For Back (2009: 1.15), sociology ‘needs to think more about what it dismisses as unthinkable – be it the history of empire in its own modern formation or the contemporary turn to the sacred and otherworldly – in order to extend the boundaries of its imagination to a worldly scale’. In calling for a globally attentive …
Detecting and measuring the impacts of upland prescribed burning on air quality
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
Between Ordinary Harm and Deviance: Evaluating the UK’s Regulatory Regime For Controlling Air Pollution From Wood Burning Stoves
Particulate matter (PM) in air pollution causes illness, injury and premature death by infiltrating essential organs. Wood burning stoves are a primary source of PM in the United Kingdom, where domestic wood burning emissions have tripled over the last decade. This article adopts a constructivist lens to examine the regulatory regime controlling these pollutants. Combining analysis of ‘expert’ interviews, responses to Freedom of Information reque…
Wood burning stoves, participatory sensing, and ‘cold, stark data’
Wood burning stoves triple levels of particulate matter pollution inside the home. Using an exploratory research design informed by coping theory, this study illustrates how sensors revealing this reality fail to influence the perceptions and behaviours of stove users. After four weeks of participatory sensing, where laypersons used sensors to identify indoor air quality during stove use, the results show how monitoring technology pulls wider pre…
Procedural Environmental Injustice in 'Europe's Greenest City: A Case Study into the Felling of Sheffield's Street Trees
With around two million trees within its boundaries, the city of Sheffield, England, is known as the 'greenest city in Europe'. Of these, 36,000 are 'street trees', defined as those planted on pavements and other public rights of way. As of 2012, however, a private contractor was awarded a £2.2 billion contract by Sheffield City Council to upgrade the city's roads over a 25-year period. This required the felling of over 6000 street trees by the e…
Crisis, deliberation, and Extinction Rebellion
The environment is one of the political issue areas identified earliest in the post-Cold War context as susceptible to securitisation (see Deudney 1990), defined as a way of treating an issue that
Greening the Concept of State Crime
Green criminologists often deploy the notion of harm to capture patterns of environmental victimization sitting outside the narrow and legalistic confines of environmental “crime”. In doing so, their analytical gaze is cast wide, resulting in a lack of focus on states and their specific obligations to protect citizens from such victimization. The current article addresses this by using the dialectic conception of state crime to direct criminologi…
