Alcohol, Youth and the State: Drinking Practices, Controls and Health Education
In the early 1980s teenage drinking had become one of the many foci for expressions of concern about young peoples’ morals, health and discipline. Yet we knew very little about how most young people drink – the qualitative aspects of youthful drinking. The research emphasis had hitherto been upon the level of drinking, neglecting the social forms, styles and associated meanings of specific drinking practices such as round-buying. Originally publi…
From credit to debt: A political history of English sovereign finance and money from the seventh century to the seventeenth
This article provides a new perspective on sovereign finance and money in England from pre-modern to early modern times. Re-reading the literature on sovereign fiscality through the lens of sovereign jurisdictions and religious authority, it describes two distinct forms of sovereign finance: the rise and fall of sovereign credit from the seventh to eleventh century, followed by sovereign debt developing from the eleventh century into 'modern' sov…
Policing the Markets: Inside the Black Box of Securities Enforcement. * By James Williams (Abingdon: Routledge, 2012, 244pp. 75.00 hb)
James Williams’ book on Policing the Markets seeks to understand regulatory enforcement – and its limitations – in the field of financial services in Canada. The book is positioned so as to attract people working in the markets, especially those with compliance roles, as well as lawyers, regulators themselves and social scientists... [This is] an informative and stimulating book [which] presents a particular provocation for criminologists, given …
Knowing markets: Would Less Be More
Regulators attempt to understand financial markets and their risks in terms of categories of knowledge and datasets that are defined and produced by the markets. However, regulators cannot adequately interpret or utilize such knowledge, for reasons including their social distance from the sites of knowledge production, the diversity of financial firms¿ proprietary risk models, firms¿ abilities to game the rules thus rendering the `metrics¿ meanin…
Reconstructing ‘conflict of interest’ in financial markets: Private management, public challenges, future prospects
Render Unto Caesar: EU Financial Market Regulation Meets Political Accountability
This paper posits three phases in EU financial market regulation. First, for the 1990s, established scholarship suggests leadership by public actors in the context of development of the single market and relations with the USA. We adopt this analysis, characterising it as ‘public–private’ regulation. Second, in the new millennium regulation shifted towards ‘private–public’, with regulators paying more attention to the demands of large financial f…
Regulatory Sloth and Activism in the Effervescence of Financial Crisis: Regulatory Sloth and Activism
Certain financial market practices, previously denied or disregarded by financial market regulators, are being redefined as candidates for active investigation and enforcement. This article contrasts the passive stance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission vis-à-vis the Madoff fraud with its relatively diligent but now settled Complaint against Goldman Sachs. The article also explores compromises in the EU's approach to market regulation…

Corporate Security and Private Justice: Danger Signs
This paper explores the role of corporate security in the control of economic crime within private sector companies and public sector organisations in the Netherlands, setting personal interviews with security providers in the context of existing literature. Companies/organisations experiencing internally-generated crime or integrity problems appreciate the private, confidential, controllable nature of corporate security services. In this sense i…
European Private Security, Corporate Investigation and Military Services: Collective Security, Market Regulation and Structuring the Public Sphere
The relationship between the private security industry and public institutions and agencies is complex and by no means one-way. The industry assists and acts as a substitute for the public sphere, is governed by it, albeit in a partial and uneven manner, whilst restructuring the public sphere in pursuit of commercial advantage at home and abroad. This paper explores aspects of co-operation and governance in European and wider contexts. Each consi…
Reducing Vulnerabilities to Crime of the European Waste Management Industry: The Research Base and the Prospects for Policy
Studies of environmental crime suggest that its causes fall into three broad groups, concerning the high costs of legal waste management, aspects of the international context, and some effects of or inadequacies in regulation. This paper reviews the literature and then introduces and applies a method to look in greater depth at vulnerabilities that the waste management business offers for crime. It suggests that some current and quite contingent …
Traffick, Transit and Transaction: A Conceptual Framework for Action Against Drug Supply
Using consultations with local police officers, consideration of some international and national case studies from Her Majesty's Customs and Excise and National Crime Squad and review of research literature, three broad sets of potential criteria for effectiveness and prospects for improvement are noted: (i) taking risks and vulnerabilities of particular structures of criminality into account, disruption‐type criteria could be strengthened by fur…
Traffickers: Drug Markets and Law Enforcement
Traffickers presents new findings into the most mythologised and least understood area of crime and law enforcement. The chamelion reality of the world of drug trafficking is described in the words of traffickers and detectives. Drug enforcement combines the banal and spectacular in surveillance, covert operations and criminal intelligence. The war on drugs is a harbinger of wider changes in the organisation of policing and international cooperat…
Drugs Importation and the Bifurcation of Risk: Capitalization, Cut Outs and Organized Crime
Qualitative research was conducted with 15 persons convicted of serious offences in connection with drugs importation into the UK, and with 10 informants of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise, with appropriate safeguards.1 Objectives included an assessment of smugglers' (planners' and organizers') perceptions about ‘risk’ and how they attempted to reduce risk. Two conceptually distinct forms of risk were identified. Strategic risk is the risk to th…
European Drug Policies and Enforcement
Drug problems present sharp challenges for policing and democracy in the European Union. Across Europe, there has been a 'harmonisation' of tougher anti-trafficking measures (exceptional legal powers, more intrusive policing methods, cooperation on intelligence). Yet there is diversity in national and city-level policies on drug users (often stressing social integration rather than punishment). These hard/soft policies towards traffickers/users c…

Mapping Probation Practice with Drug Using Offenders
Research work was carried out in a probation service area, exploring probation practice with drug‐using offenders and looking at the service's response to an initiative undertaken on behalf of drug agencies. A questionnaire survey generated estimates of time probation officers spent in a working week on cases of offenders who were recognised as having a drug problem. As regards partnership between the probation service and drug agencies, there we…

Three faces of police referral: Welfare, Justice and business perspectives on multi‐agency work with drug arrestees
There are a series of loosely connected debates in Britain about forms of punishment, diversion and case disposal that might be financially economical, fair in terms of justice, and in the welfare interest of persons caught up in the criminal justice system. This paper describes and analyses schemes in which arresting police officers and/or custody officers offer to arrested persons an opportunity for referral to specialist drugs advice and/or wi…

Drug Markets and Law Enforcement
This paper examines the market in illegal drugs, law enforcement counter-measures, and their interaction in Britain. Doubt is cast on the conventional view that the drug market is monopolistic, dominated by a few big suppliers. A diverse set of enterprises, best distinguished by their qualitative features rather than their size, is described. These enterprises are faced by law enforcement agencies that have at their disposal formidable legislatio…
