Justice and Righteousness
This article uses a biblical hermeneutic of the concept of justice to explore the issue of secular criminal justice. It is argued that if justice is very closely related to righteousness, the focus for criminal justice shifts from the retributive punishment of those who harm us to the restoration of right relations. The article draws on reformed theology, penal theory, and moral philosophy – in particular Stephen Darwall’s notion of recognition r…
Policing and social media
This article explores the perspectives of police officers and police civilian staff in England who engage with social media as part of their professional practice. It uniquely focuses on how these police professionals use visual tools, namely photographs, videos, emojis, infographics, memes and visual GIFs as part of their communicative police practices. The research is informed by qualitative interviews with police participants. Drawing on persp…
Police recruits, moral judgements and an empathetic policing
In this article, we consider the moral judgements of new recruits to the police by drawing on two stages of semi-structured interviews with recruits over their first 6 months working for Lancashire Constabulary in England. The article contributes to the literature by providing insights into the moral thinking of police officers at the very early stages of their career. The discussion is supported by relevant criminological and philosophical liter…
Police station meaning, closure and (in)visibility
This article considers the visual symbolism of policing as reflected by the presence or absence of police stations.The focus is England where recent years have witnessed a prolonged period of police station closure.The article draws on interviews with police estate managers and considers their reasons given for closure and consequent impact on visibility.The discussion is influenced by visual criminology and semiotics, as well as the concept of t…
The Lord's Prayer, forgiveness, and criminal (in)justice
Criminal justice is usually retributive - that is, justice is only apparent when an offender receives their just deserts. While Western ideas of criminal justice have historically been influenced by Christian tradition, doctrine and theology, in this article the Lord's Prayer is used as a starting point to challenge conventional thinking. The article considers the prayer's emphasis on God's kingdom, and on forgiveness. Through the lens of retribu…
Guerrilla gardening as normalised law-breaking
This article considers guerrilla gardening that involves taking on other people’s land for gardening, usually without their permission. It is a practice that is overlooked largely by criminology, yet it can tell us something about attitudes to law and land ownership and challenges the approved aesthetic order of where we live. It can soften the look and feel of the city, leading to a different emotional and affective interaction with urbanity. Ev…
Maintaining police-citizen relations on social media during the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite a growing body of recent literature that has examined the role of the police during the COVID-19 pandemic, little is known about police approaches to citizen-engagement on social media in England. Accordingly, this paper draws on robust qualitative research conducted with police officers and staff across England who utilised either official, semi-official, or unofficial police social media accounts. The paper illustrates how they understo…
Visible policing
This article contributes to contemporary criminological debates on police visibility by exploring the relationship between police uniforms, artefacts and occupational identity. The article is influenced by visual criminology and semiotics and draws on elicitation interviews with officers and staff from four English police services. Participants were asked to bring with them an object or image that they identified as being an important expression …
Street Skateboarding and the Aesthetic Order of Public Spaces
Street skateboarders are often excluded from public spaces with skating viewed as anti-social or uncivil. In this article, we argue that it can also be regarded as problematic as it interferes with the look and feel of cities as promoted by late-modern capitalism. The article contributes to an aesthetic criminology by arguing that street skateboarding is itself an aesthetic practice, but that this practice challenges the functionality and aesthet…
Criminology and Public Theology
This timely and unique contribution brings together leading scholars from criminology and theology to challenge criminal justice orthodoxy. They question the dominance of retributive punishment, and consider alternatives which draw on Christian ideas of hope, mercy and restoration.
Everyday moral judgements of anti-social behaviour
Introduction
Research on policing has tended to focus on paid and warranted officers, often overlooking the large and, in many jurisdictions, expanding army of volunteers working with or for the police. Where there has been research on police volunteering this has focused mainly on warranted auxiliaries, reserves or special constables. This Special Issue of Policing and Society contains three articles that add to our knowledge and understanding of non-warrant…
Crimes of the Senses
Yarn bombing involves the display of knitted or crocheted items in public space, often without permission. This article draws on interviews with yarn bombers in the North West of England and considers who the yarn bombers are, their motivations and experiences and their views on the legal status of yarn bombing. Although the visual is important for yarn bombing—and it is therefore of interest to visual criminology—this article also looks further …
Citizens in policing
The focus of this article is the Police Support Volunteer (PSV), a brand of non-warranted and usually non-uniformed volunteer that was introduced in England and Wales from the 1990s onwards. The article draws on participatory action research with PSVs in Lancashire Constabulary. The background to greater use of volunteers within policing is discussed with particular reference to the political projects of austerity and responsibilisation – the lat…
Urban interventionism as a challenge to aesthetic order
This article is concerned with ideas of urban order and considers the scope for playing with people’s expectations of order. In particular, drawing on criminological, philosophical and urban studies literatures, the article explores the notion of aesthetic order. The power to dictate aesthetic order is highlighted. The example of urban interventionism is used to consider those that challenge an approved aesthetic order. Here the article draws on …
Policing in a time of contraction and constraint
This special issue of Criminology and Criminal Justice takes as its starting point the nature and scale of the fiscal challenge facing state-funded police forces in Britain following the financial crisis. Public sector cuts need little introduction and whether fiscal constraint and contraction are the appropriate remedies to the financial crisis is open to debate (e.g. Davidson, 2009; Krugman, 2012; Skidelsky and Wigstrom, 2010). However, the imm…

The policing task and the expansion (and contraction) of British policing
Over the past four decades the police service strength in England and Wales grew by nearly a third. This was at a time when the population grew by just 10 per cent. This sustained period of growth came to an end with the 2010 spending review which called for a 20 per cent cut in government funding of the police. In this paper the expansion of the state police is examined, expansion that is all the more remarkable coming at a time of increased com…

Police Stations, Architecture and Public Reassurance
Architecture has for many years been of interest to criminology in terms of its role in social control and crime prevention. This article focuses on architecture as reassurance and the specific example of the police station what is an under-researched topic. Supporting evidence is presented from a study of police stations in three English police forces. The study’s aims were modest and exploratory, to draw on theoretical and empirical evidence to…
Community safety politics and policy in Europe
Big society, small government
Incivility
A discourse of moral decline has been popular among certain strands of sociological and criminological enquiry; that ‘we are all going to Hell in a handcart’ – for example Wilson and Kelling (iBroken Windows: The Police and Neighborhood Safety,/i 1982) and Putnam (iBowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community,/i 2000).As Smith, Phillips and King have noted in their new book, the evidence of this is frequently said to be a ‘ “cris…
Value Judgments and Criminalization
Fuelled by contemporary concerns of risk and majoritarian calls to adhere to ‘the values the majority hold dear’ there can be said to be a ‘crisis of criminalization’ in liberal democracies. Whilst criminalization is clearly an important theme in criminology there has been little attention on the value judgments behind processes of criminalization. By drawing on elements of moral philosophy and by applying these ideas to everyday criminalization …
Securing respect
Securing respect contains essays from leading academics in the field that consider the origins, current interpretations and possible future for the Respect Agenda. It explores various policy and theoretical discourses relating to 'respect', behavioural expectations and anti-social behaviour
Anti-Social Behaviour, Behavioural Expectations and an Urban Aesthetic
In recent years, the phrase ‘anti-social behaviour’ (ASB), as understood in a public order enforcement context, has gained prominence in the United Kingdom, to the extent that it is claimed we now live in an ‘ASBO nation’. In this article, the meaning of ASB is explored as a contested concept. The focus is on urban spaces, where it is argued that understandings of ASB are very much dependent on people's behavioural expectations for a particular s…

Looking for anti-social behaviour
English ‘Anti-social behaviour’ (ASB) has become a high-profile concern in political and policy debate in the UK. For instance, according to Tony Blair (2003) it is ‘for many the number one item of concern right on their doorstep’. In this article evidence is presented that ASB is not a major concern for most people. Rather, concerns are concentrated in certain deprived and/or urban areas and in town and city centres. Within these areas it is als…

Applying Reassurance Policing
Public reassurance, and its importance as a function of policing, has recently gained prominence in England and Wales. “Reassurance” has been included as part of the 2002 Police Reform Act, successive National Policing Plans and the 2004 Police Reform White Paper. It has evolved from concern that while the crime rate has been falling, public perception has been that it has continued to rise. This disparity has been dubbed the “reassurance gap”, w…

Anti-Social Behaviour in British Cities
In Britain, we have been told by politicians that anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a menace that has to be tackled. In this review article, evidence is provided that ASB is not a problem that affects us all; rather, concerns are highest within urban areas, particularly in certain deprived neighbourhoods and town and city centres. Possible explanations for this spatial concentration of concern are explored, for instance, relating to the effectivenes…

Borderline sentencing
This article draws together findings from two related studies of sentencing in England and Wales, and Scotland. It examines how sentencers in the two jurisdictions differ in their sentencing decision making, with a focus on cases on the borderline between prison and a community penalty. The article suggests that, despite differences in legal systems and criminal justice structures, sentencers' decision making in the two jurisdictions was remarkab…

Crime as an issue during the 2005 UK general election
Politicians are fond of telling interviewers that their focus should be on the `real issues' or `what matters most to the people'. This research note considers the place of crime as a `real issue', specifically during the national general election held in the UK in May 2005. According to research by Ipsos MORI (May 2005), at the time of the election the issues that mattered most to people were crime (40 per cent), the health service (36 per cent)…
Bridging the Gap
While crime rates in England and Wales have been falling, the perception has remained, for many, that crime is rising. It has also been assumed that fear of crime is high, although measures of fear have been declining since the mid‐1990s. Of greater concern is a concurrent decline in confidence in the police. This ‘gap’ underpins the need for reassurance as a means of gaining legitimacy for policing decisions. We consider the background to reassu…

Vulnerability and risk
Various police and partnership schemes claim to address vulnerability, either as an end in itself, or as a means of crime reduction. However, project staff do not articulate always what is meant by ‘vulnerability,’ or relate it necessarily to victimization risk. This paper considers what the notions of ‘vulnerability’ and ‘risk’ mean, and how they are tackled and prioritized. Some lessons are provided from the UK Reducing Burglary Initiative. The…
