Collateral consequences of criminal records from the other side of the pond: How exceptional is American penal exceptionalism
In this article, we highlight the existence and expansion of so-called ‘collateral consequences’ (CCs) of criminal records in Europe to challenge the prevalent view that these are features of the claimed ‘American exceptionalism’ within the penal field. First, we consider how CCs have been widely presented as a quintessential example of American penal exceptionalism within extant scholarship before problematising the adoption of such a framework …
Why is it so difficult to get Critical Religion into the mainstream? Reflections on Horii's 'Religion' and 'Secular' Categories in Sociology
Is Rising Self-Employment Associated with Material Deprivation in the UK
Rising self-employment may indicate growing precarity. This article investigates poverty in self-employment in the UK using a large-scale official household survey for 2010 to 2019 through a focus on material deprivation. The principal finding is that, after controlling for the selective nature of self-employment, self-employed households may experience higher levels of material deprivation than employed ones. This is particularly so for those wi…
Criminalisation, criminal records and rehabilitation: From supervision to citizenship
Criminalisation, criminal records and rehabilitation: from supervision to citizenship?Scholars of criminal justice have long described contact with the penal system as involving different forms of 'pain'.Paradigmatically, Skyes (1958) outlined the 'pains of imprisonment' whereby the incarcerated experience deprivations of liberty, autonomy, security, goods and services, and heterosexual relationships.Subsequently, Crewe (2011) described 21st cent…
When ‘ideal victim’ meets ‘criminalised other’: Criminal records and the denial of victimisation
This article critically examines the restrictions on access to statutory compensation in Great Britain for victims of serious crime with criminal records. Drawing on original analysis of Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority transparency data it reveals the scale of the denial of victimisation as a so-called ‘collateral consequence of a criminal record’. The policy is then critiqued on the basis that it reproduces the problematic social constr…

Boundary spanning in higher education leadership: Identifying boundaries and practices in a British university
The increasingly dynamic and complex higher education (HE) environment calls for high levels of boundary-spanning skills from leaders. The importance of boundary spanning is raised by the need for leaders to engage across internal and external boundaries to formulate new strategic responses to a complex set of forces and pressures facing the sector. This paper investigates the salience of boundary spanning leadership (BSL) practices through quali…
Does religion influence entrepreneurial behaviour?
Religion cannot be ignored in assessing the range of cultural and institutional influences that impact on entrepreneurial activity. This article integrates key themes from sociology of religion in the context of emerging ideas about religion and entrepreneurship in order to highlight key research questions. New institutional theory is discussed as a potentially useful lens for viewing the range of means through which religious expression and inst…
Farm diversification, entrepreneurship and technology adoption: Analysis of upland farmers in Wales
Farm businesses face increasing challenges in the face of policy reform which envisages multifunctional rural economies with objectives which span the environmental, the social as well as the production of food. This leads to uncertainties and ambiguities in the way in which farms respond to incentives and pressures to become entrepreneurial, to diversify, to become more efficient at food production and to adopt new technology. This paper examine…
The post-crisis growth in the self-employed: Volunteers or reluctant recruits
The post-crisis growth in the self-employed: volunteers or reluctant recruits? Regional Studies. In the context of recent growth in UK self-employment, the relationship between self-employment choices and local economic and labour market conditions is investigated to address whether self-employment is associated with local ‘push’ or ‘pull’. Empirical analysis is conducted using UK longitudinal data linked to local area unemployment and earnings d…
Disparities in public protection measures against sexual offending in England and Wales: An example of preventative injustice
This article analyses the use of criminal justice measures aimed at the prevention of sexual offending across England and Wales. Specifically, it focuses on measures such as the ‘sex offenders register’ and sexual offences prevention orders (SOPOs) and the use of sanctions for their breach. Following a discussion of the apparent tensions between individual rights and public protection measures we present an original analysis of data collated from…
Victims’ Versus ‘Offenders’ in B ritish Political Discourse: The Construction of a False Dichotomy
This article evaluates the contemporary discursive status of victims and people convicted of criminal offences. The rhetoric used by B ritish politicians to convey the meaning of ‘rights’ is explored within media output, parliamentary speech‐making and other forms of political discourse. Our analysis details how victims’ rights are sometimes advocated for at the expense of ‘offenders’ ’ rights in public discourse. Examination of parliamentary deb…
Individual Motives for Choosing Self-employment in the UK: Does Region Matter
Dawson C., Henley A. and Latreille P. Individual motives for choosing self-employment in the UK: does region matter?, Regional Studies. Regional entrepreneurship policy is often framed in terms of spatial shortcomings in entrepreneurial culture. However, differences in why individuals choose self-employment may reflect structure rather than culture. This paper investigates UK data for 1999–2001 on the reported motives for choosing self-employment…
On Defining and Measuring the Informal Sector: Evidence from Brazil
Changes in human capital and earnings inequality: Recent evidence from Brazil 1
This paper estimates changes in the rates of return to human capital across the earnings distribution using data from over a 10-year period for Brazil. It uses these estimates to simulate the separate impacts of changes in returns to skills and changes in the supply of skills on earnings inequality. Evidence points strongly to growing inequality in rates of return to education in Brazil. This finding suggests that recent macroeconomic and trade r…
Euro-Commentary: Scenario Analysis and Regional Economic Development
The scenario approach to developing foresight, to improve policies supporting rural economic development, is discussed and illustrated with an application in the Mid Wales region of the United Kingdom, which displays characteristic rural problems, including agricultural decline, demographic imbalance, and sparsity and remoteness of populations. Conclusions which may be drawn from this application suggest that the approach helps to confront and de…
Job Creation by the Self-employed: The Roles of Entrepreneurial and Financial Capital
On regional growth convergence in Great Britain
Henley A. (2005) On regional growth convergence in Great Britain, Regional Studies 39 , 1245–1260. This paper examines recent sub-regional output data for Great Britain to identify possible economic convergence. It concludes that sub-regional data are subject to substantial spatial autocorrelation. Conventional estimates of ‘beta’ convergence are subject to misspecification bias if spatial autocorrelation is not taken into account. Unconditional …
Self-Employment Status: The Role of State Dependence and Initial Circumstances
Public Service Employment and the Public Private Wage Differential in British Regions
Public Service Employment and the Public‐ Private Wage Differential in British Regions
Successive forms of regional policy in the UK have sought to support the maintenance and creation of public sector employment opportunities in relatively disadvantaged regions. Nationally negotiated public sector pay rates mean that the private-public pay gap is likely to be wider in lower demand regions. This will be reinforced by the relative absence of private sector employment crowding-out in such higher unemployment regions. This paper inves…

Wage determination in Brazil: The growth of union bargaining power and informal employment
This article examines wage determination in Brazilian manufacturing during the 1980s and early 1990s. It presents evidence to show that the reduction in state regulation of collective bargaining has led to the development of a system of wage determination which is increasingly characterised by rent sharing and insider trade union bargaining power. Real wages appear increasingly inflexible with respect to movements in open unemployment, with a lar…
Changes in the Distribution of Housing Wealth in Great Britain, 1985‐91
The second half of the 1980s was a particularly turbulent time for the British housing market, during which time sizeable real capital gains accrued to owner‐occupiers, particularly those who were already owner‐occupiers at the start of this period. The paper constructs housing wealth estimates disaggregated by household from the 1985 GHS and 1991 BHPS Wave 1 in order to explain the distributional consequences of the housing market experience. Th…
Residential Mobility, Housing Equity and the Labour Market
UK commentators have noted that the UK housing market may hinder labour market flexibility. The present paper uses UK household longitudinal data (BHPS) for the early 1990s, and estimates single and competing risk discrete time duration models of residence duration to investigate the impact of negative housing equity on residential moves. Strong evidence for an adverse impact on mobility is found, along with results to suggest that the home‐owner…

HENLEY A., CARRUTH A., THOMAS A. and VICKERMAN R. (1989) Location choice and labour market perceptions: a discrete choice study, Reg. Studies 23, 431–445. The location of industry in an economy raises many important issues for economists and governments interested in economic efficiency and equity. One interesting question is whether economic factors have an important role to play in explaining location patterns. This paper uses a survey data set…
Job Tenure and Asset Holdings
The paper examines the impact of housing equity and occupational pension scheme membership on job tenure. Using job duration data from the 1985 General Household Survey, appropriate hazard functions are constructed and estimated. Housing equity data is constructed from GHS, with appropriate adjustment for selection on house movers. Housing equity has a negative impact on male job tenure which is more pronounced the longer the job lasts. In contra…

Housing Assets and Consumer Spending: A Regional Analysis
This paper is concerned with the relationship between the housing market and consumer spending for the eleven standard regions of the UK. Pooled regional cross-sectional and annual time-series data are used to appraise the effect of housing assets on regional consumer spending in the 1980s. A fixed effects estimator imposing common slope coefficients across the regions is employed, and this assumption is tested using the SURE estimator. Estimates…

Consumer Durables Spending and Housing Market Activity
Recent British experience suggests important relationships between housing market activity and consumer durables spending. This paper examines direct and indirect relationships; the former through the complementarity of housing and durable goods, the latter through housing equity withdrawal effects. Aggregate U.K. time-series econometric evidence is presented that finds significant evidence for both effects. An estimate of the elasticity of durab…

Corporatism and the European Labour Market after 1992
This paper addresses the question of the effect of labour market institutions on economic performance. It reviews evidence to show that the performances of highly centralized, or ‘corporatist’ economies, such as Sweden and Austria, have in the past been superior to those of the current EC members. It considers the implications of this for European labour markets given the process of European integration. It seems likely that Europe as a whole wil…
