D printing, policing and crime
This article examines the implications of advanced manufacturing technology, more commonly known as three dimensional (3D) printing, for policing and crime, notably the dissemination of digital design files and the use of 3D printers to produce illicit firearms. The application and rapid evolution of 3D printing technology has created new challenges for law and regulation, and represents an interesting security paradox, albeit one which until now…
Gun Crime/Gun Control
The mass shooting phenomenon, rather more than underlying levels of “ordinary” gun crime, has brought new urgency to the global gun debate, leading to renewed international efforts at gun control even as, in many societies, those who can, acquire firearms for their own personal defense, lacking confidence in the authorities' ability to protect them. Yet the global evidence is unequivocal: More guns invariably lead to more gun violence and signifi…
A scoping review of Australian studies of refugee integration: Popular definitions of integration in the Australian literature
The term ‘integration’ features frequently throughout the Australian and international refugee settlement literature. The definitions of integration presented by authors in the studies selected for this review draw on various scholarly and institutional publications to form their definitions, relying overwhelmingly on a few popular studies of refugee settlement in countries other than Australia. Despite widespread usage of the term in the Austral…
Gun Crime in Global Contexts
Every year around three-quarters of a million people die (directly or indirectly) as a result of gun violence, with most deaths occurring in the poorest, yet also most highly weaponized parts of the world. Firearm proliferation -- 875 million global firearms -- is a direct contributor to both regional conflicts and to crime. This book attempts to understand the inter-related dynamics of supply and demand which are weaponizing the world. Now over …
Rougher Justice
Anti-social behaviour has become a major political preoccupation of government and combating it is now a major plank of criminal justice policy. Yet anti-social behaviour as a concept has been little studied, and the notion has often been accepted uncritically. This book aims to meet this need, providing a critique of the government's use of the concept of anti-social behaviour and of youth justice strategy more generally. Rougher Justice foregro…

Community safetyCritical perspectives on policy and practice: Critical Perspectives on Policy And Practice
Community safety emerged as a new approach to tackling and preventing local crime and disorder in the late 1980s and was adopted into mainstream policy by New Labour in the late '90s. Twenty years on, it is important to ask how the community safety agenda has evolved and developed within local crime and disorder prevention strategies. This book provides the first sustained critical and theoretically informed analysis by leading authorities in the…

New Labour and the politics of antisocial behaviour
Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) has rapidly become a key issue for the government. It was recently given central place in the 2004–2008 Home Office Strategic Plan, the Prime Minister being prompted to describe, in broad ideological terms, his government's ‘crusade’ against the anti-social within a ‘new consensus’ on criminal justice. Yet ‘ antisocial behaviour’ is often treated as if it were something new; a unique aspect of late modernity. …

Rethinking Asbos
Increasing criticism has accompanied the rising numbers of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) imposed. In this short paper we review some of our own recent research findings in conjunction with other recent commentaries to question whether the declared intentions behind the introduction of the ASBO are being achieved in practice. We argue that there are a number of fundamental problems with ASBO enforcement. We conclude by urging for the resurr…
They’re still children and entitled to be children: Problematising the institutionalised mistrust of marginalised youth in Britain
Developing Kelly's perspicacious deliberations on mistrust, surveillance and regulation in this journal (Journal of Youth Studies vol. 6, no. 2 (2003), pp. 165-180), this paper illustrates the pernicious consequences of the British Government's 'Community Safety' discourses, as effected through the imposition of Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, upon marginalised young people and their families. By drawing upon and presenting extracts from our rece…
Adults Don't Realize How Sheltered They Are'. A Contribution to the Debate on Youth Transitions from Some Voices on the Margins
Taking vehicles without the owner's consent has recently been explored in the context of 'risk'. In this paper we wish to add to this invaluable insight and, especially, to the current debate, not least in this journal, on the conceptual value of youth transitions in general, and the school to work transition in particular. Through the accounts of a sample of young men involved in vehicle offending we demonstrate that, from their worldview, the s…
Cops and customers: Consumerism and the demand for police services. is the customer always right
Research has drawn attention to the incorporation of localised political elites and a new ‘urban officer class’ into police consultation processes. The resulting corporatist‐style bodies mediate a range of political and economic tensions in the development of local policing priorities. Most research on this issue has focussed upon formal police consultation processes (PCCs) and multi‐agency initiatives. Here, however, we examine the extent to whi…
