Examining corporate/organisational crime and labour exploitation in relation to a ‘Criminology of work’
This paper examines the intersections between corporate/organisational crime and labour exploitation, thereby contributing to a ‘criminology of work’ perspective by focusing on (i) the conceptualisation, (ii) organisation, and (iii) governance of labour exploitation. Labour exploitation encompasses a spectrum of practices, from severe violations related to modern slavery, to more ‘banal’ but widespread challenges such as underpayment and precario…
‘Joining the dots’ and addressing the challenges with Greater Manchester's modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT) partnerships approach
Modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT) continue to present complex challenges internationally and in the United Kingdom, especially when intersecting with migration systems, labour markets, criminal justice and welfare regimes. This article presents the first comprehensive review of MSHT partnerships in the city-region of Greater Manchester, which has aspects of devolved governance and a well-established culture of cross-sector collaboration…
Once Bitten, Twice Shy? Understanding Repeat and Multiple Victimization in Business Cybercrime
This study examines repeat victimization (RV) and multiple victimization (MV) in business cybercrime using data from the 2024 UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey (CSBS). Drawing on Routine Activity Theory, particularly its VIVA framework (value, inertia, visibility, accessibility) and capable guardianship, it investigates how organizational characteristics, routine activities, and cybersecurity practices influence victimization risks. The study app…
It’s not going to be tech that gets us out of it’
The purpose of this article is to examine the role of digital technology, especially Blockchain, in addressing modern slavery and labour exploitation within garment manufacturing supply networks. Drawing on empirical research with UK-based industry professionals, we argue that while digital tools contain benefits in enhancing transparency, they are limited by structural challenges such as extensive subcontracting, cost pressures, and corporate re…
The Organisation of Crime and Harm in the Construction Industry
Drawing on empirical work and secondary analysis from the UK and Finnish construction industries, this book contributes a deep-rooted analysis of construction industry harms that originate from corporate-industrialstate processes. The UK context arguably represents a classic ‘neoliberal’ system categorised by privatisation of services and minimal regulation, whereas Finland broadly provides a ‘social democratic’ alternative with its relatively st…
Private and public co-operation in preventing and addressing corporate crime
Numerous corporate and state processes have long underpinned harms related to human trafficking and exploitation. A consequence of these processes has been a growing interest in how public and private sector organisations co-operate to address key challenges, including accountability for alleged exploitation. The purpose of this article is to examine these public-private sector dynamics in the Finnish construction industry, with a particular emph…
Landscapes’
In 2014, the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University received 3600 contact sheets from Andy Warhol's Minox 35EL camera, charting the full range of his black-and-white photography from 1976 until his death in 1987. A remarkable subset of the sheets capture explicit gay sexual activity, most shot for Warhol's late-1970s Torsos and Sex Parts series. I provide a history and visual analysis of these pornographic images, many of which star Warhol's f…
Anti-trafficking Chains
A recurring conundrum lies at the heart of current anti-trafficking law and policy. Despite enormous efforts by civil society organizations, corporations, and governments to reduce human trafficking in supply chains, and the introduction of legislation in various countries that requires corporations to take active actions in this field, there is wide agreement that, so far, the desired change has not occurred. This article addresses this puzzle t…
A critical perspective on the administrative approach to crime prevention
Building on empirical data from Finnish enforcement agencies, we reflect on the challenges of the administrative approach to crime prevention. At the operational level, we identify explicit legal and implicit extra-legal limitations for using the administrative approach, that we call (1) ‘tunnel view’, (2) ‘structural siloes’, (3) ‘double role’, and (4) ‘blurred lines’. At the conceptual level, we consider the challenges of using the administrati…
Fault lines of food fraud
Following major criminal cases in the food system, such as the Horsemeat and fipronil egg scandals, the phenomenon of food fraud has emerged as a priority concern for supranational (e.g. European Union) and domestic policymakers and regulatory authorities. Alongside this, there is increasing interest from academics working in both the natural and social sciences (but rarely together), where we see common and overlapping objectives but varied disc…

From severe to routine labour exploitation
The issue of exploitative labour practices against migrant workers has been well established in previous work. Yet most research and policy focus on severe forms of exploitation, including types of ‘modern slavery’ such as human trafficking and forced labour. Research has paid less attention to ‘routine’ labour abuses that are less extreme than severe exploitation, but which are still exploitative or harmful. This article argues that a stronger e…
Development Process Resilience and Sustainable Development
Recently, the development and humanitarian relief communities have directed attention to building resilience of pastoral communities to droughts and other shocks. While resilience thinking has much to offer, using resilience as a framework for investing in disaster risk reduction and development faces numerous challenges. Development implies that people are actively changing, which poses the question of whether such changes are adaptations or tra…

Capitalisation, Commoditisation and Obligation among Ethiopia's Afar Pastoralists
This paper on the Afar pastoralists of north-eastern Ethiopia examines their livelihood goals to understand how they view the institutions that are central to their existence. The paper examines the choices made in allocating livestock resources to accumulate different forms of capital. Using qualitative and quantitative research the paper considers the value of internal livestock exchange for accruing insurance and the impact that such value has…
It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
Touching, smart and witty, Jean-Paul Kelly’s idiosyncratic vision explores narrative structure as a mediation of everyday anxieties and anticipated grief. His works are developed using a hybrid aesthetic language shaped by home movies, cinema, art history, cartoons, digital compositing and performance. And fastened to a dying animal continues Kelly’s process of using home-video documents featuring the artist, his parents and their pets, as refere…
