Legitimacy and Deeply Embedded Core Normative Values in Different Social Groups
Core normative value theory asserts that perceptions of the legitimacy of law enforcement authorities are not just a product of these agencies’ conduct and performance, but are also based on deeply embedded ideological worldviews. This study further tests the theory, exploring the diverse relationships between values and legitimacy in multicultural societies. We use Israel’s highly divided society as a case study. Our data were derived from a sur…
How algorithms see their audience: Media epistemes and the changing conception of the individual
The rise of digital media has witnessed a paradigmatic shift in the way that media outlets conceptualize and classify their audience. Whereas during the era of mass media, ‘seeing’ the audience was based on a scientific episteme combining social theory and empirical research, with digital media ‘seeing’ the audience has come to be dominated by a new episteme, based on big data and algorithms. This article argues that the algorithmic episteme does…
The epistemology of algorithmic risk assessment and the path towards a non-penology penology
Risk assessments are increasingly carried out through algorithmic analysis. In this article, we argue that algorithmic risk assessment cannot be understood merely as a technological advancement that improves the precision of previous methods. Instead, we look at algorithmic risk assessment as a new episteme, a new way of thinking and producing knowledge about the world. More precisely, we argue that the algorithmic episteme assumes a new concepti…
Critical Criminology as a Guardian of Human Rights: An Action-Based Model
From Offender Rehabilitation to the Aesthetic of the Victim
This article analyzes the role played by crime victims in social control in the postindustrial United States in the last three decades of the 20th century. Through a synthesis between Zygmunt Bauman’s work on late modernity and Pierre Dardot’s and Christian Laval’s conceptualization of neoliberalism, the article reviews the increasing centrality of the crime victim in penal discourse, particularly in light of the ‘aesthetic turn’ proposed by Baum…
The Rule of Difference: How Emergency Powers Prevent Palestinian Assimilation in Israel
This article argues that Israel's non-assimilationist policy toward Palestinians-what I term Israel's 'rule of difference'-is embedded in the state's security conception. Under the guise of protecting the state and its people, Israel has successfully achieved two essential prongs of this political objective. Dating from the 1948 War, the state has created a series of legal mechanisms that have enabled it to expropriate Palestinian land. Similarly…

The Fluid Jurisprudence of Israel's Emergency Powers: Legal Patchwork as a Governing Norm
Israel's long-standing state of emergency has had considerable bearing on the state's governance. Less known, but equally important, is the fact that Israel's legal system features several overlapping and incoherent emergency legal mechanisms that exist side by side. This article demonstrates that Israel's ever-shifting body of emergency law has been used to suit its governing authorities' political ends. A chief goal has been to create flexibili…
