Pathos of justice
This article takes up a pressing challenge in the discipline of criminology, that is, how to restore the relationship between crime and punishment into a theory of justice. Scholarship on crime and punishment has tended towards parallel paths, underestimating both their linkages and their incompatible logics. By bringing together insights from critical philosophy and the sociology of punishment, we elaborate a concept of justice we call pathos of…
Recognition of struggle
The objective of this article is to see whether desire for recognition might contain an emancipatory aspect. Could this desire be a political ally? The argumentative strategy is to fully acknowledge the oppressive mechanisms at work before trying to find a way to other outcomes, including emancipation, with which desire for recognition has been associated in the tradition from Hegel. Through a re-interpretation of the master-and-slave dialectic, …
Critique and cognitive capacities
In response to an impasse, articulated in the late 1980s, the cognitive capacities of ordinary people assumed central place in contemporary critical social theory. The participants’ perspective gained precedence over scientific standards branded as external. The notion of cognition, however, went unchallenged. This article continues the move away from external standards, and discusses two models of critique, which differ based on their underlying…
Neoliberal security provision
The article develops a new understanding of neoliberal security provision on the basis of available accounts of three different “states”; the penal state, the regulatory state, and the activating welfare state. I argue that these forms of state intervention provide individuals with security in the sense that anxiety is temporarily alleviated, while stabilizing the conflictual dynamic of global power structures. Marketization and organizational co…

Regulating business or policing crime? Tracing the policy convergence between taxation and crime control at the local level
Policing is commonly associated with street‐level crime, whereas regulation is instead associated with the complexities of business and market governance. However, this distinction has been questioned by recent research and it seems that the worlds of regulation and policing are tending to merge. Still, little is known abouthowthis convergence is unfolding. By following the intersection of two international policy‐level processes – the financiali…
Repositioning sovereignty? Sovereign encounters with organized crime and money laundering in the realm of accountants
This article repositions sovereignty on the basis of a study of recent regulatory approaches to organized crime and money laundering. The spread of techniques across administrative domains is traced through organizational documents and interviews with practitioners, and related to an observed trend toward integration between policing research and regulation research. The same trend, however, assigns sovereignty to the periphery. A richer notion o…
Exclusion or culture? The rise and the ambiguity of the radicalisation debate
The years 2005–2010 saw a sudden interest in the phenomenon of radicalisation. Terrorism was treated as the end result of a process of radicalisation and, as such, a reflection of broad social changes. In the discussion surrounding this phenomenon, radicalisation has not functioned as a homogenous analytical category. We analyse leading academic and administrative texts and identify two fundamentally different perspectives. One of these perspecti…
Risk, Power and the State
Introduction. Activation Quaranteed: Individualizing the Pressure to Perform. Subjected Freedom: The Productivity of Power. Institutional Order: Guiding Repression through Risk. Generalized Control: Negotiating Contradictory Expectations through Risk. Conclusions
The Birth of Public Order Policy
Over the last twenty years, the nature of the rule of law and the basis on which nation states employ force has been changing fundamentally. The distinction between what is criminal, to be dealt with by the legal and justice system, and what creates a 'perception of insecurity' - formerly to be dealt with by social policy - is being eroded at both the macro ('war on terror') and micro ('public order') levels. This paves the way for the unbridled …
