Officers’ perspectives of policing alcohol-related incidents in and around licensed premises
Alcohol-related harms are disproportionately represented in licensed premises. This study aimed to investigate the practices and perceived capabilities of a group of police officers who engage in policing activities in and around licensed premises in a capital city policing district in an Australian jurisdiction. Analysis of the self-reported data revealed that the 254 participants were much more likely to attend to alcohol-related incidents outs…
Symbolic Interactionism and the Concept of Social Structure
Although Blumer asserts that to deny the existence of "structure" in human society is "ridiculous," just such a denial has commonly been attributed to him. The more conventional mainstream understanding of structure in sociology, however, is theoretically incoherent, as demonstrated by classic and modern studies of, for example, stratification. Blumer's sociology is shown, with particular reference to its bases in the pragmatist tradition, to pro…
Musicians' Worlds
The term 'popular music' encompasses a huge range and variety of styles. This article reasons that the adoption of a sociological approach, and in particular Becker's 'art worlds' perspective, brings some analytic clarity and methodological rigor to studies of musicians' work in an otherwise diverse array of styles and contexts. An empirical focus on 'musicians' worlds' can produce not only systematic descriptions of their organizational features…

Such a view is routinely presented in undergraduate textbooks. This paper contests such a view through a consideration of the concept of power. We argue that the interact…
