The Trajectories of Lethal Violence: Analyzing Long-Term Homicide Trends in England and Wales
This review critically examines long-term trends of lethal violence in England and Wales. Notably, the timing, character, and distribution of the homicide drop here deviates from trends observed in other forms of violence and comparable jurisdictions. Drawing on extensive research and multidecade data from the Homicide Index (1977–2020), this review explores key theoretical frameworks, disaggregates offender and victim profiles, and investigates …
Nutrition and Handgrip Strength Among Adults in Rural Matlab, Bangladesh
OBJECTIVE: Handgrip strength (HGS) provides a dynamic indicator of overall strength and physical fitness. Population-based investigations of anemia and iron deficiency as predictors of HGS are limited; most studies rely on elderly and/or clinical samples. We assessed iron deficiency, anemia, body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage as predictors of HGS among a representative cross-sectional sample of adult residents of Matlab, Bangladesh. M…
The Politics of Crime, Punishment and Justice: Exploring the Lived Reality and Enduring Legacies of the 1980s Radical Right
The life course paradigm brought a focus on continuity and change in offending across the entire life span to criminology. Early research evolved to capture individual-level variation and the events, experiences and opportunities that functioned to spur change and alter behavioural trajectories. Though the notion that ‘lives change in a changing society’ (Elder et al. 1994: 11) is fundamental to the life course paradigm, the principle of historic…
Communities and the European Green Deal: Opening ‘Sites of Struggle’ for a Democratic Energy Transition
Masculinism, institutional violence and #MeToo: Understanding Australian University responses to the Covid-19 pandemic
This article offers an analysis of data from the project Sexism, Higher Education, and Covid-19: The Australian Perspective. The authors argue that the gendered impact of the pandemic in Higher Education Institutions constitutes a form of institutionally perpetrated sexist harassment, and that raising awareness of the ways in which institutions themselves enable and perpetrate such harassment is consistent with the aims of the #MeToo movement. Th…
The Politics of Crime, Punishment and Justice: Exploring the Lived Reality and Enduring Legacies of the 1980’s Radical Right
This book explores the impact of right-wing political ideology on crime, the criminal justice system, and attitudes towards punishment in Britain. Grounded in a rigorous analysis of repeated cross-sectional surveys such as the British Social Attitudes Survey and the British Crime Survey, as well as individual-level cohort data such as the 1958 National Child Development Study and the 1970 British Cohort Study, it examines changes in long-term cri…
The spatial and temporal development of British prisons from 1901 to the present: The role of de-industrialisation
This paper combines archival data and statistical analysis to investigate the context-specific ways that prisons expanded and affected communities in the UK, focusing closely on the role of the UK's political economy. We present evidence of a significant increase of prisons in the counties where the coal-mining industry was dismantled during the 1980s and 1990s. We identify former coal-mining areas based on Coal Mining Reporting Areas and the met…
Child Abuse and Neglect and Obsessive–Compulsive Personality Traits: Effects of Attachment, Intolerance of Uncertainty, and Metacognition
Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN) is extensively implicated as a risk factor preceding the development of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Traits (OCPT). Nevertheless, the majority of individuals with a history of CAN do not go on to develop OCPT. To date, little research has investigated potential model networks that may help contribute to explaining why CAN sometimes leads to OCPT and not at other times. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whethe…
Co-creating a community visioning methodology for energy transitions: Principles, practices, and reflections
Visions of energy futures produced via co-created methodologies can provide robust alternatives to the prevailing imaginaries held by international and state actors – crucial for sustaining progress towards energy transitions that meet community needs and realities. This paper explores the co-creative design of a methodology for community visions for energy transitions. Insights are drawn from the development and outputs of a collaborative worksh…
Politics, Punitiveness, and Problematic Populations: Public Perceptions of 'Scroungers', 'Unruly' Children, and ‘Good for Nothings’
This book expands punitiveness to explore public attitudes in contemporary British society towards different rule-breaking groups.
Depletion through Social Reproduction and Contingent Coping in the Lived Experience of Parents on Universal Credit in England
We report data from longitudinal qualitative interviews with thirteen people claiming Universal Credit (UC) immediately before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in England. The article utilizes concepts from feminist theory: “Social Reproduction” and “Depletion.” We make several novel contributions, including bringing depletion into conversation with the related concept of “contingent coping.” We argue that the lived experience of UC involves mate…
Politics, Punitiveness, and Problematic Populations: Public Perceptions of 'Scroungers', 'Unruly' Children, and 'Good for Nothings
Life-courses, social change and politics: Evidence for the role of politically motivated structural-level influences on individual criminal careers
Criminal careers research is one of the largest fields of research in modern criminology. However, it has almost exclusively focussed on individual-level explanations of onset, maintenance and desistance. In this article, and in part inspired by recent work by John Braithwaite (and others), we argue that criminal careers research needs to attend in greater detail to the macro-logical processes which shape offending careers. Herein, we outline key…
The Long Arm Of Welfare Retrenchment: How New Right Socio-Economic Policies In The 1980s Affected Contact With The Criminal Justice System In Adulthood
The socio-economic policies of the British ‘New Right’ administrations have been associated with increases in crime using aggregate data. This paper assesses if the trend remains when we test individual-level relationships using two British cohort studies (the National Child Development Study 1958 and the British Cohort Study 1970). Our results point to a set of long-term ‘period effects’ in which those reliant on the welfare state at specific ti…
Interrogating Crime, Politics and Insecurity: Introducing the Special Issue
In recent years, the arrangement of relationships that connect crime to politics has become of increasing interest of criminologists in all parts of the globe. A growing number of criminologists have started to focus their attentions on the relationships between crime (broadly understood) and politics (understood as processes, partisanship and institutions). This has been motivated in part, by the international financial crisis of 2008–2009, and …
Worrying times: The fear of crime and nostalgia
As well as finding empirical relationships between victimisation, key socio-demographic variables and various psychological and environmental processes, criminologists have long suspected that the feelings now identified, corralled together and labelled as ‘the fear of crime’ have roots in the wider shifts in the social and economic bases of society. In this paper, and using survey data from a nationally representative sample of Britons aged over…
Who are the victims of electoral fraud in Great Britain? Evidence from survey research
Global pressures, household social reproduction strategies and compound inequality
There is increasing interest in social reproduction and the international political economy of the everyday and the ways that the global economy rests on domestic foundations not just including state institutions but micro-social structures such as households and families. This paper uses data derived from the UK Millennium Cohort Study to explore the way that different types of household (using proxies for social class) one aspect of their socia…
Losing the Discursive Battle but Winning the Ideological War: Who Holds Thatcherite Values Now
In what ways, if at all, do past ideologies shape the values of subsequent generations of citizens? Are public attitudes in one period shaped by the discourses and constructions of an earlier generation of political leaders? Using Thatcherism – one variant of the political New Right of the 1980s – as the object of our enquiries, this article explores the extent to which an attitudinal legacy is detectable among the citizens of the UK some 40 year…
Resistance and reproduction: An arts-based investigation into young people’s emotional responses to crime
This paper reports on a qualitative study of young people’s emotional responses to crime, underpinned by cultural criminology and interpretive phenomenology. It uses alternative approaches to explore young people’s ‘fears’ of crime via the use of arts-based methods, specifically performative drama and focus groups. The rationale is rooted in young people’s voices being largely absent from fear of crime research and the increased movement towards …

From victimisation to restorative justice: Developing the offer of restorative justice
From victimisation to restorative justice: developing the offer of restorative justice Restorative justice services have expanded in England and Wales since the Victim’s Code 2015. Yet evidence from the Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that in 2016-2017 only 4.1 per cent of victims recall being offered such a service. This article presents the evidence from an action research project set in three police forces in England and Wales, which …
Behavioural Thatcherism and Nostalgia: Tracing the everyday consequences of holding Thatcherite values
The Role of Radical Economic Restructuring in Truancy from School and Engagement in Crime
Of late, criminologists have become acutely aware of the relationship between school outcomes and engagement in crime as an adult. This phenomenon—which has come to be known as the ‘school-to-prison-pipeline’—has been studied in North America and the United Kingdom, and requires longitudinal data sets. Typically, these studies approach the phenomenon from an individualist perspective and examine truancy in terms of the truants’ attitudes, academi…
Moral Panics and Punctuated Equilibrium in Public Policy: An Analysis of the Criminal Justice Policy Agenda in Britain
How and when issues are elevated onto the political agenda is a perennial question in the study of public policy. This article considers how moral panics contribute to punctuated equilibrium in public policy by drawing together broader societal anxieties or fears and thereby precipitating or accelerating changes in the dominant set of issue frames. In so doing they create opportunities for policy entrepreneurs to disrupt the existing policy conse…
Thatcher’s Children, Blair’s Babies, Political Socialization and Trickle-down Value Change: An Age, Period and Cohort Analysis
To what extent are new generations ‘Thatcherite’? Using British Social Attitudes data for 1985–2012 and applying age-period-cohort analysis and generalized additive models, this article investigates whether Thatcher’s Children hold more right-authoritarian political values compared to other political generations. The study further examines the extent to which the generation that came of age under New Labour – Blair’s Babies – shares these values.…
Penal Populism and the Public Thermostat: Crime, Public Punitiveness, and Public Policy
This article makes the case that feedback processes in democratic politics—between crime rates, public opinion, and public policy—can account for the growth of penal populism in Britain. It argues that the public recognize and respond to rising (and falling) levels of crime, and that in turn public support for being tough on crime is translated into patterns of imprisonment. This contributes to debates over the crime–opinion–policy connection, un…
Functional Fear and Public Insecurities About Crime
Fear of crime is widely seen as an unqualified social ill, yet might some level of emotional response comprise a natural defence against crime? Our methodology differentiates between a dysfunctional worry that erodes quality of life and a functional worry that motivates vigilance and routine precaution. A London-based survey shows that one-quarter of those individuals who said they were worried about crime also viewed their worry as something aki…
Feelings and Functions in the Fear of Crime: Applying a New Approach to Victimisation Insecurity
This paper presents a new definition of fear of crime that integrates two conceptual developments in this enduring field of criminological enquiry. Our measurement strategy differentiates first between specific worries and diffuse anxieties in emotional responses to crime, and second between productive and counterproductive effects on subjective well-being and precautionary activities. Drawing on data from a representative survey of seven London …

Political Socialization, Worry about Crime and Antisocial Behaviour: An Analysis of Age, Period and Cohort Effects
Fear of crime occupies a substantial area of research and theorizing in criminology. Yet, it has not been examined within a longitudinal framework of political socialization. Using insights from generational modelling, we explore how political cohorts influence the fear of crime and perceptions of antisocial behaviour. This 'age, period and cohort' (APC) approach recognizes the distinct temporal processes of (1) individual ageing, (2) current con…

Politics, Social and Economic Change, and Crime: Exploring the Impact of Contextual Effects on Offending Trajectories
Do government policies increase the likelihood that some citizens will become persistent criminals? Using criminological concepts such as the idea of a 'criminal career' and sociological concepts such as the life course, this article assesses the outcome of macro-level economic policies on individuals' engagement in crime. Few studies in political science, sociology, or criminology directly link macroeconomic policies to individual offending. Emp…

Becoming European? The Transformation of the British Pro-migrant NGO Sector in Response to Europeanization
This empirical study addresses the question of the emergent adaptation processes of the pro-migrant NGO sector in Britain in response to the advancing Europeanization of immigration policy. Our findings show European-level engagement by some key pioneer non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who have importantly built pathways and linkages to politics beyond the nation-state, as well as participating in the European arena through interaction with…
Collating Longitudinal Data on Crime, Victimization and Social Attitudes in England and Wales: A New Resource for Exploring Long-term Trends in Crime
Exploring long-term trends in crime and criminal justice is a multifaceted exercise. This article introduces the construction and methodological benefits of a series of new data sets that amalgamate approximately 30 years of public data on crime, victimization, fear of crime, social and political attitudes with national socio-economic indicators in England and Wales. The data operate at both an aggregate and individual level and will be available…
Thatcherite Ideology, Housing Tenure and Crime: The Socio-spatial Consequences of the Right to Buy for Domestic Property Crime
However one views it, the changes to housing tenure in the 1980s were pronounced and have had enduring effects in terms of the housing market. In this paper, we throw light on the relationship between housing tenure and the experience of property crime in and around what might be referred to as domestic environments (i.e. people’s homes). In so doing, we explore the ideological positions which both of the (then) main political parties had adopted…

Teaching and tolerance: Aversive and Divisive Pedagogical Encounters
This paper takes as its subject the circulation of tolerance discourse within two pedagogical encounters in two Australian educational settings, and draws from the work of Wendy Brown on tolerance as a regulatory force. Brown argues that discourses of tolerance are produced within historical and cultural milieu that enable tolerance and aversion to exist simultaneously. This has significant implications for how we might come to understand the pro…

Small Big Data: Using multiple data-sets to explore unfolding social and economic change
Bold approaches to data collection and large-scale quantitative advances have long been a preoccupation for social science researchers. In this commentary we further debate over the use of large-scale survey data and official statistics with 'Big Data' methodologists, and emphasise the ability of these resources to incorporate the essential social and cultural heredity that is intrinsic to the human sciences. In doing so, we introduce a series of…

Interdisciplinary Tension and the Importance of Method in Fear of Crime Research: A Discussion Piece
A plethora of research points towards widespread public anxiety about falling victim of crime (Hale, 1996). These anxieties damage individual well-being, they erode mutual trust and neighbourhood ties, and such is the divergence between anxiety and the reality of crime, so-called fear of crime has gained the status of social problem in its own right. Fear has even come to influence policing priorities and activities, encouraging a focus on reassu…
Reassessing the Fear of Crime
A large body of empirical research exploring emotional responses to crime in Europe, North America and elsewhere suggests that substantial proportions of the public worry about victimization. The British Crime Survey (BCS) has asked questions exploring English and Welsh respondents' worry about crime since 1982, and in the 2003—4 sweep of the BCS new questions were inserted into a subsection to explore the frequency and intensity of such fearful …
Social Order and the Fear of Crime in Contemporary Times
The fear of crime has been recognized as an important social problem in its own right, with a significant number of citizens in many countries concerned about crime. In this book, the authors critically review the main findings from over 35 years of research into attitudes to crime, highlighting groups who are most fearful of crime and exploring the theories used to account for that fear. Using this research, the authors move on to propose a new …

The Role of Parent Characteristics in Community-Based Medication Treatment for Children with Disruptive Behavior Problems
Managing Persistent and Serious Offenders in the Community
Over the last few years intensive community programmes for both young and adult offenders have become established in the UK as an important new component of penal policy − the ISSP (Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme) for persistent and serious young offenders, and the ICCP (Intensive Control and Change Programme) for adult offenders. Expectations of these programmes have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness i…
GLBTIQ teachers in Australian education policy: Protections, suspicions, and restrictions
Recognition of human rights on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status by the United Nations has led to the development of new policies concerning homophobia and transphobia in educational contexts. This paper examines new Australian education policies impacting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) teachers. A policy review uncovered a range of protections for GLBTIQ teachers in contexts su…
Young Children’s Engagement With E-Books at School: Does Device Matter
Differences between digital devices on children’s engagement with e-books are examined. The sample included 24 typical 4-year olds enrolled in Head Start. Over a 1-month period, video captures of children’s multi-sensory behaviors during shared reading at a tabletop touchscreen computer and teacher-facilitated book browsing with iPads and iPods were obtained. Data were coded on each child at 1-min intervals, examining the simultaneity of behavior…

Socialization and generational political trajectories: An age, period and cohort analysis of political participation in Britain
The role of political socialization in explaining disengagement from specific modes of activism beyond voting remains largely unexplored, limited to date by available data and methods. While most previous studies have tended to propose explanations for disengagement linked to specific repertoires of political action, we propose a unified theory based on the different socialization experiences of subsequent generations. We test this theory using a…
