Navigating Spatial Enclosures
Law enforcement’s increased presence in U.S. public schools has significantly affected Black students’ access to opportunities and their overall safety. Limited attention has been paid to the broader context in which school policing operates, extending beyond school buildings and embedded in larger neighborhood dynamics. We develop a theory of “spatial enclosures” to describe how policing manifests across schools, neighborhoods, and school police…
A Web of Punishment
The presence of armed police officers in schools has sparked considerable policy debate and demands for reform. Thus far, much of the debate has centered on an empirical analysis of school resource officers rather than school police officers and their impact on particular student populations, especially those burdened by their greater vulnerability to punitive interactions such as detention and arrest. In this article the authors show that an exa…
Spatial and Temporal Distance Between the Victim and Offender as a Factor in Protective Order Violations
Research on the effectiveness of protective orders indicates that they have only marginal protective value for the victim. This exploratory study investigated how the physical distance and temporal distance between the victim and offender corresponds to the percent of protective order violations. Results indicated that the percent of protective order violations was reduced to virtually zero when the victim and offender lived 25 miles or more apar…
Homicide Illustrated Across the Ages
Objective: A total of 34 years of FBI Supplementary Homicide Reports were examined using statistical graphics to illustrate patterns across ages, by sex, and victim/offender relationships (intimate partner [IP], other family, acquaintance, or stranger). Method: An innovative fourfold display and victim/sex-specific scatterplots with overlaid deviation ellipses determine the age/sex patterns for each relationship. Results: We illustrate numerous a…
Patterns of Injuries
This study uses two types of independent variables, age and the location of the physical wound, to develop a model of injury patterning that identifies violent behavior without direct observation of the assault. In this research, domestic violence injuries are compared to accidental injuries. The results indicate that there are specific and predictable injury patterns that separate abuse from other kinds of wounds. A logistic regression model was…
The health impact of floating support
Under the Supporting People Programme, low‐level ‘floating’ support is available to help vulnerable people live independently in their own accommodation. There is a good deal of research to indicate that this sort of support, particularly in social housing, is effective in helping people to sustain their tenancies, and that their well‐being and self‐esteem are improved as a result. However, there is little empirical evidence on the overall health…
The support plan
The support plan is central to the Supporting People programme. A service user without one is not eligible for funding, and it forms a core objective of the formal Quality Assessment Framework. This article suggests not only that many support plans are not in place, but also that others are implemented poorly. This is a missed opportunity to deliver high‐calibre services, be accountable to the service user and address some of the key factors whic…
Private Sector Housing Improvement in the UK and the Chronically Ill
The principal thrust of the UK ‘Supporting People’ (SP) programme is concerned with packages of long-term support for older and disabled people, but there is concern that in spite of its declared aims, owner-occupiers may miss out. A recent study has identified a substantial group of poor owner-occupiers, who suffer from chronic illness but currently receive little in the way of housing or health support. Aimed at people who have serious coronary…
The Politics of Regeneration
From its earliest days regeneration has been characterized by a vague generality in its aims and an absence of an overall theoretical base. How far does regulation theory offer a plausible way of understanding regeneration policies? Early schemes had their origins in a Fordist model of full employment and a comprehensive welfare state to compensate for the failures of the market but there has been a discernible shift towards a post-Fordist model …
Housing Renewal—Doesn't it Make You Sick
Correlative links between poor housing and poor health have been well known for many years. A problem for urban studies, however, is that the supposed causal relationships underlying this correlation are ill-understood and only weakly established. Hence the expectation that housing improvement will lead to a corresponding change in the health of the community (and therefore of individuals) has little causal support and remains an assumption. Stud…
Interpretive biography as a method
This research describes how and why interpretive biography was chosen as a potentially fruitful way of gaining insight into participants' experiences and understandings of institutionally led housing renewal. The paper gives a detailed description and review of the theoretical basis of interpretive biography and critically assesses its application in practice. A development is suggested which builds upon the model's considerable attractions and s…

The tombs of the 'Abbāsid caliphs in Baghdād
The mausolea that safeguarded the remains of the Commanders of the Faithful are not preserved among the meagre remnants of 'Abbāsid Baghdād. The history of these prominent buildings can be reconstructed from historical sources, however, and their significance sketched. The evidence presented here is not new, but it may profitably be reviewed with regard to funerary practices, terminology, and the development of Islamic architectural forms
