Extinction Rebellion's disobedient environmental citizenism
We examine the public protest of Extinction Rebellion (XR) in the UK as a specific political practice. We do so through our observation of the plea hearings of activists charged with public order offences during the April 2019 London ‘Rebellion’, focusing on those pleading guilty at the first opportunity. We show how these narratives establish the values and beliefs of these activists, including their relationships to existing state agencies and …
Necessity, Non‐Violent Direct Activism, and the Stansted 15
In Thacker and ors the Court of Appeal overturned the convictions of the ‘Stansted 15’ due to a misdirection on the substantive offence. However, the court rejected their necessity defence, following Jones , as their actions were political, outweighing a desire to avoid a risk of death or serious injury; in a ‘functioning democratic state’ their claims should have been pursued through conventional means. This is a reaffirmation of what we call ‘H…
Disciplinary Power and Impression Management in the Trials of the Stansted 15
We bring Foucauldian and Goffmanian frameworks into dialogue to show how repressive and disciplinary power operate in the criminal trials of social movement activists. We do so through an ethnographic account of the trials on terrorism-related charges of a group of anti-deportation direct action protesters known as the Stansted 15, complemented by interviews with defendants. We argue that the prosecution of these activists on terrorism-related ch…
Swift and sure justice? Mode of trial for causing death by driving offences
In this article we present empirical evidence on the allocation of causing death by driving offences to explore the inter-relationship between different criminal justice policy goals. Specifically, we look at the decision-making of the various parties involved in such cases: the prosecution in recommending the venue for trials; the defence in deciding whether to plead guilty or to elect trial in the Crown Court; and magistrates in deciding whethe…

Modelling Mode of Trial
This paper presents a quantitative analysis of data collected from the mode of trial hearing in two English magistrates' courts. A model of the mode of trial procedure is offered that explores the factors that influence the mode of trial decision taken by magistrates. While legal factors such as seriousness of the offence play a part in the process, the mode of trial decision is also shaped by factors such as courtroom culture, the provision of b…
Deciding Upon Mode of Trial
This article presents the findings of an empirical research project into mode of trial decision making. While policy makers have consistently focused upon the role of defendants in electing Crown Court trial, less attention has been paid to the roles of prosecutors and magistrates. However, the evidence suggests that they are responsible for the majority of triable either way cases that reach the Crown Court, and tackling local court cultures may…
The Management of Domestic Violence Cases in the Mode of Trial Hearing
This paper presents a selection of the findings of a larger empirical research study into the mode of trial decisions in two English magistrates' courts While the interests of victims within the criminal justice process have recently risen up the political agenda, researchers and policy makers have said little on the place of the victim within the mode of trial hearing. This paper addresses the treatment of domestic violence victims in the mode o…
