Does Martialization Contribute to Australia’s Right-Wing Extremism? Implications of an Analysis of the General Social Survey
Concept review on right-wing extremism (RWE) holds that authoritarianism, nationalism and anti-democracy are the values that most strongly correlate. Evidence suggests these views are prevalent among military veterans. In this paper we test the hypothesis that individuals that are subjected to martialization are more likely to hold RWE values than other individuals. Using the General Social Survey, which permits the operationalization of authorit…

The ‘Nadir’ of Empire or the Apex of Crime
In this opinion piece I will take as the point of departure two points made by Biko Agozino regarding criminality and criminology. The first is that imperialism is the basic form of all criminality and that “the rapist, the pickpocket, the robber, the murderer, the arsonist, the bank fraudster, the dictator, all share the qualities of the criminal state that commits violence against the people.” The second is that criminology is a technology desi…
Criminology 9/11
9/11 is a historically significant event that was hastily designated by authorities as an act of both terrorism and war. It led to a call for forensics investigations and commissions of inquiry, notably the 9/11 Commission, which reported famously on alleged lapses in intelligence, preparedness and bureaucratic imagination. Some high profile crime events may be understood as ‘apex crimes’, conceptualized here as a subtype of political crime in wh…
Knowledge Exchange: Collaborative Reflexivity on Self-Medicated Victims of Crime
Collaborative research projects with service providers and their clients are becoming increasingly important for capturing a more comprehensive understanding of criminological matters. This article examines the role of academic—practitioner dialogue and collaboration in framing the concepts and protocols for an empirical study of self-medication among victims of crime. It reflects on the dynamic and nuanced encounters between criminologists, a vi…
Crime victims’ self-medication: Findings from a study in South Australia
While considerable literature has explored the complex nature of victimisation, few empirical studies have examined the role of alcohol and other drugs (AODs) in victims’ experiences, specifically victims’ self-medication using AODs and its impact on ongoing health and welfare needs. Addressing the dearth of empirical research on the nature and extent of victims’ self-medication, and drawing upon quantitative data from a survey ( n = 102) of vict…
Bent into Security: Barrister Contribution to a Skewed Order in Two Terrorism Prosecutions in Australia
This article explores two terrorism prosecutions – R v. Benbrika and Ors and R v. Elomar and Ors – to probe how Australian lawyers approach the integration of national security interests into the heart of public law. A brief background is provided followed by an analysis of how the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002 (Cth), as amended, and the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004 (Cth) deviate fr…
Bent to good authorities?
In Madrid, Barcelona, and other cities, police have sought to protect state government buildings against street protests and riots. Human rights is one such filter on action inviting powerful authorities, but recently authoritarian neoliberalism is another. As the historian Charles Reith noted, Sir Robert Peel’s great achievement was to establish in Great Britain a modern police whose mission it was to instill not an abject fear of state power an…

F raming M igration: A Handbook for Policy-Makers
In this article, we review the terms of reference by the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers (the Panel) to unpack the framing of asylum specifically but irregular migration generically, finding that the interaction of the terms humanitarianism, security and economic development provide the discursive means to limit their separate 'in-the-know' or 'in-politics' meaning. In particular, neo-liberal politics and liberal internationalism restrict the rang…
I rregular M igration: Emerging Regimes of Power and the Disappearing Human
In December 2012, a comparative workshop was held at Flinders University, Adelaide to discuss emerging regimes of power in response to irregular migration. The workshop was conceptually organised around similar challenges being experienced by Australia and the southern European states of Italy and Greece. In both zones, the construction of the migration problem as a question of numbers and peoples plays a large role in developing border-control p…
Resilience and Criminal Justice: Unsafe at Low Altitude
Risking Precaution in two South Australian Serious Offender Initiatives
The serious offender is a crime management problem that involves multiple agencies in partnerships linked by common mandates and conventions regarding knowledge sources. Analysis of recent South Australian efforts to manage control of serious offenders for community protection finds common practices and principles at stake in these ‘worthy targets’. Comparing ‘anti-bikie’ controls and control over the State's most prolific and dangerous offenders…

Frontier Government: The Folding of the Canada-US Border
In this paper the border is evaluated as a fold of power relations in which sovereign capacity and competence is marshalled alongside strategies of control, surveillance, and risk management to constitute, what we call, a zone of frontier government. We advance the argument that the border is a site for both negative and positive power, for insertion and subtraction, and that the assemblage of surveillance and compliance regimes are "run" not so …
Security, Exclusion, and Social Justice
Two concepts animate this special issue of Studies in Social Justice: exclusion and security. Exclusion and exclusivity are often understood as inimical to social justice in-so-far as one broad category of wrongs results in the denial of access to goods, services, and rights to some people. In a very popular book, Jock Young (1999) captures this understanding and makes the case that we are becoming the "exclusive society." He argues that a welfar…

GPS‐Electronic Monitoring and Contemporary Penology: A Case Study of US GPS‐Electronic Monitoring Programmes
Criminologists have noted a significant reorientation of criminal justice policy. Initially this reorientation was most dramatically articulated by Feeley and Simon (1992) , who suggested that penality has shifted from the ‘modern’ to ‘new’ penology. Criticisms of the binary ‘modern’ and ‘new’ penology model has led to the contemporary understanding of penality through a threefold model of: ‘punishment‐punitive’, ‘rehabilitative‐humanistic’ and ‘…
Community into Intelligence: Resolving Information uptake in the RCMP
Police now and then undergo radical mission adaptation. Yet, how events shape organizational police history, including the adoption of radically different missions, has largely evaded scholarship. Through a review of executive-level interviews and strategic leadership documents, we trace how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police turned from a community-policing mission to one which now highlights intelligence. We argue that while various programs and…

The Simulation of Crime Control: A Shift in Policing
The authors argue that policing by consent is being displaced by policing by information control. This discomfiting adaptation in liberal democracies is possible in the shadow of asymmetrical, border-collapsing exceptionalism. It has also benefited from synoptic effects in which reference to the liberal democratic legacy substitutes for liberal democratic practices. Current technologies, as demonstrated in watch-listing, public relations operatio…

Dans cet article, nous étudions l'interdépendance institutionnelle entre les cours et la police lors de la gouvernance du piquetage. L'analyse apporte des éclaircissements sur la manière dont des droits économiques et sécuritaires sont mis en équilibre avec des droits politiques et civiles dans l'affirmation oblique du fondement d'autorité qui est sans doute plus puissante dans une situation de construction indirecte au jour le jour. Nous situons…

Security in ambiguity: Towards a radical security politics
In this article we offer a reconceptualization of security that attempts to reconcile a post-critical and normative agenda. The article proceeds by unpacking features of the dominant security discourse and then resituating the question in a radical politics. We contend that moving forward on this question requires a rejection of the association between security, certainty and authority. Rather than following the classical realist view that securi…
Policing Labour in Canada
Recent research on the policing of labour disputes suggests that there have been substantial historical changes in policing practices and policies in North America and Europe. Much of the literature points to a postwar movement from reactive policing grounded in the threat and use of force to a more preventive consent-based approach which relies on communication, negotiation and self-policing. At the same time, there have been conflicting reports…

Autonomy, Regulation and the Police Beat
In this article, the historical development of the police beat in the context of liberal governance is explored. As a mechanism of surveillance, the beat was a continuation of rules of the nightly watch, characterized by a tight control over watchmen by fixing person, post and time. As a site of police autonomy, the patrol beat facilitated the furtherance of the enterprise of the amateur constabulary and cultivated police officer dominion by matc…
New Managerialism and Canadian Police Training Reform
This paper offers a preliminary exploration of a renewed managerialism (or new man agerialism) in police discourse and police training in Canada. It reviews changes to the conception of discipline in the supervision of the front-line police officer, and explores how a discourse of bureaucratic organization has been replaced by a 'responsibiliza tion' agenda. It follows this movement in the residential training academy, examining how new training …

Nineteenth century disciplinary reform and the prohibition against talking policemen
Police in liberal democracies are both free citizens and accountable public agents. They are under strong restrictions of accountability in their exercise of authority but also have a powerful right to make decisions about individual freedoms; while labouring under tight legal and administrative constraints, they are themselves individually free. The unique role of the public police officer in this balance between private freedoms and public cons…
The constable generalist as exemplary citizen, networker, and problem‐solver: Some implications
For some time now the constable generalist has been a favoured model of the front‐line state‐funded general duty police officer. However, despite being favoured as an ideal, it has yet to be widely practiced. This paper seeks to address what impediments exist between the ‘model’ of the constable generalist and the reality of its widespread implementation. It is contended that the constable generalist can be broken down into three subtypes: the ex…

The paper proceeds by looking at two powerful arguments regarding the role of the police. It follows this up by showing how the concept of police as access brokers helps to r…

The Security Double Take: The Political, Simulation and the Border
This paper conceptualizes the 'security double take' as an expression of the adaptation of longstanding parameters of security to reflexive ordering expectations. I proceed by examining legacy concepts of the modern liberal nation state and by interrogating the rupture between current and previous expectations of the sovereign spectacle. Although launched originally from the realist security discourse of political theory, the diminished priority …
