Necropolicy in the Capitalocene
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.This is the Capitalocene, an age characterised by death derived from capitalism’s endless accumulation, growth, and resource exploitation. In the Capitalocene, policies dedicated to climate change mitigation are intertwined with a capitalist logic, perpetuating a self-reinforcing cycle of validation and harm. Based on a political ecology approach analysing the Australia…
Doing Harm with Things
Criminology has increasingly recognized the roles technologies play in an array of harms, with scholars developing a variety of techno-social accounts of crime and harm. In developing such accounts, scholars face the challenge of adequately accounting for the myriad ways humans can, whether intended or not, harm with things. This article argues that this challenge can be addressed by disentangling the concatenation of relations between intentions…
Justice in the streets? Towards a criminology of more-than-spatial justice
Criminology has long taken an interest in cities and in the question of justice in the streets. But what constitutes ‘justice’ in urban spaces such as city streets? We consider this question through a focus on the use of street spaces by public protesters and people experiencing houselessness, whose use of the streets is often subject to legal, social and municipal regulation. Our analysis contributes to criminology’s interest in cities and city …
Spatial Governance of the Unhoused
In this article, we examine tactics in municipal policy and the criminal law regarding socio-spatial governance of unhoused individuals in city spaces. We explore the intentions and effects of tactics such as sweeps, which remove or destroy unhoused people's possessions, move on orders targeting the mobility and immobility of unhoused people and spatial banning which prohibits the presence of unhoused people in particular locations. We argue here…
Embracing the Mess in Feminist Research
Qualitative approaches present challenges to the neat and orderly histories of research. Within this shifting climate, feminist researchers have blurred the boundaries of rigorous research, by bringing the personal into their methods and drawing attention to the liveliness of research methods. We build on this liveliness to develop the conceptual framework of mess. We define messy methods as sensorial, relational, and posthuman in their resistanc…
Visual criminology and lives lived in public space
In January 2017, several homeless people gathered outside Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia. The gathering gained significant media attention and led to an immediate political response, with the city council proposing changes to ban rough sleeping in the city. Drawing on insights from visual criminology and moral geography, I scrutinise how visual regimes and aesthetic judgements helped motivate this punitive response. To do so, I c…
Moved by fire
The destructive bushfires in Australia 2019–2020 resonate with similar trends around the world as bushfire seasons are becoming longer and more pervasive. Yet, criminological analyses of bushfires are limited and tend to focus on the individual criminal subject and the act of arson, the crime of intentional fire starting. Encouragingly, green criminology, the criminological perspective dealing with environmental crimes and harms, is expanding the…
