Southern and Postcolonial Perspectives on Policing, Security and Social Order
Copping the blame
UK drill music frequently features as a prime suspect in newsrooms and courtrooms that charge it with driving the 'knife crime epidemic' in Britain's major conurbations. Such prejudicial assumptions about the role of drill in inciting violence are largely unfounded, but nevertheless inform criminal justice policy that leads to unjust and discriminatory outcomes. While drill rappers consciously post violent content on YouTube to increase viewershi…
Policing the Pandemic
The Public and Their Platforms
As social media is increasingly becoming a standard feature of sociological practice, this book rethinks the role of these mediums in public sociology and what they can contribute to the discipline in the post-COVID world. It reconsiders the history and current conceptualizations of what sociology is, and analyzes what kinds of social life emerge in and through the interactions between ‘intellectuals’, ‘publics’ and ‘platforms’ of communication. …

Black Radical Thought in Sound
Policing the beats
As debates on the rise of violent crime in London unfold, UK drill music is routinely accused of encouraging criminal behaviour among young Black Britons from deprived areas of the capital. Following a series of bans against drill music videos and the imposition of Criminal Behaviour Orders and gang injunctions against drill artists, discussions on the defensibility of such measures call for urgent, yet hitherto absent, sociological reflections o…
Grime
This article sets out to (re-)introduce Black urban musical subcultures as valuable forms of creativity and public expression in an attempt to resist, criticize and expose their criminalization by the London Metropolitan Police. Focusing primarily on grime, a host of unfair and illegitimate practices adopted by the London Metropolitan Police will be discussed. This will demonstrate how the routine monitoring, surveillance and curtailment of Black…
Becoming public characters, not public intellectuals
Research into the sociology of intellectual life reveals numerous appeals to the public conscience of intellectuals. The way in which concepts such as 'the public intellectual' or 'intellectual life' are discussed, however, conceals a long history of biased thinking about thinking as an elite endeavour with prohibitive requirements for entry. This article argues that this tendency prioritizes the intellectual realm over the public sphere, and bet…
