Southern and Postcolonial Perspectives on Policing, Security and Social Order
Post-Fordism and Criminality
This chapter provides some aspects of the recent debate on the transition from &s;Fordism&s; to &s;post-Fordism&s; to bear on the issues of criminality and crime control. It elaborates a model of the classic Keynesian Welfare State (KWS) in the context of the expanding post-war economy and explores some of its implications for crime and crime control. The chapter identifies some problems and instabilities in the classic welfare state model in the…
Privatization and coercion: The question of legitimacy
This article explores issues surrounding the legitimacy of private sector provision in criminal justice. It examines changes in ideas about legitimate coercion which have made private sector involvement possible. It then elaborates two models of the processes whereby private sector entities attempt to obtain and maintain the legitimacy of their activities in the eyes of the public

Criminalisation and advanced marginality: Critically exploring the work of Loïc Wacquant
Reconnecting the King with his head: The fall and resurrection of the state in criminological theory
This article examines the relation between criminology and the state in the postwar period. The article begins by looking at the role of the criminologist in the emerging welfare state. Here the state was regarded as benevolent, while the task of the criminologist was to help guide penal policy along benevolent lines. We then chart the development of a more critical approach to the state, now conceived as an authoritarian formation by critical th…

Reconstructing Leviathan: Emerging contours of the security state
This article develops an account of the current emergence of the security state as successor to the liberal welfare state. It is argued that the security state heralds a new type of authoritarianism which, beginning at the periphery and pre-occupied with the management of the marginalized and socially excluded, is gradually infecting the core social institutions, the criminal justice system in particular. The article considers three areas in whic…
Enabling Remote Access to Fieldwork: Gaining Insight into the Pedagogic Effectiveness of ‘Direct’ and ‘Remote’ Field Activities
This study considers the pedagogical effectiveness of remote access to fieldwork locations. Forty-one students from across the GEES disciplines (geography, earth and environmental sciences) undertook a fieldwork exercise, supported by two lecturers. Twenty students accessed the field site directly and the remainder accessed the site remotely using a computer network. Similar learning outcomes were achieved in relation to both methods of fieldwork…
Police, Probation and the Bifurcation of Community
The police and probation services are agencies that have traditionally had close relations with the communities in which they work. Both agencies exhibit tensions in their relations with the community: in policing, in the relation between centralised targets and community needs, and in probation in the role of the community in the process of rehabilitation and desistance. We argue that these tensions mirror deeper contradictions within current ur…
Security, Sovereignty, and Non-State Governance “From Below”
Les chercheurs en gouvernementalité explorent les nouveaux modes post-keynesiens et pluralistes de la gouverne publique en articulant les organismes étatiques et non-étatiques. L'insistance sur la «gouvernance d'en haut» doit être complétée, notamment dans les espaces urbains, par celle dévolue à la «gouvernance d'en bas» par des acteurs non-étatiques. La «gouvernance d'en bas» peut impliquer des acteurs allant d'associations commerciales et d'in…
What Has Happened to Urban Reform in the Island Pacific? Some Lessons from Kiribati and Samoa
Introduction The importance of towns and cities in the future development of Pacific island states is inescapable. Researchers have underlined many key features of the urbanization process, ranging from the high population growth rates found in Melanesian towns,1 the importance of urbanization as a key driver of national economic growth,2 the effects of high rural-urban migration3 and the increasing urban crime and poverty,4 to problems of urban …
The Macpherson Report and the Question of Institutional Racism
This article focuses on the concept of institutional racism as deployed in the Macpherson Report into police handling of the murder of Steven Lawrence. After some remarks on the methodological difficulty of grounding the concept in an investigation of a single incident of failed murder inquiry, the focus shifts to Macpherson's general understanding of the relations between police and black communities. Macpherson deploys a cultural explanation of…

Social Crime Revisited
This article attempts a critical re-evaluation of the concept of social crime. A brief review of the deployment of the concept by radical historians in studies of crime in 18th-century England is followed by an analysis of attempts to apply the term to crime in modern industrial capitalism. The article concludes with an attempt to rehabilitate the concept as useful in the present context in particular as a counterbalance to an overemphasis on the…

Population Mobility in Rural Swaziland: A Research Note
Population mobility in its various forms has long been recognised as a major determinant of social and economic policies in many transitional, which is the stage in a country's economic development that has been defined by W. W. Rostow as the 'transitional era when a society prepares itself - or is prepared by external forces - for sustained growth'1 Although much has been published about population migration in Africa, little research has been c…
Underlying Determinants of Housing Location: A Case Study from Swaziland
It is a comparatively recent development that places housing not only as one of the main targets in the national plan, but also as a vital means of achieving other social and economic objectives.1 Admirable though this may be, a number of difficulties can arise in practice, particularly with regard to the question of new housing where many dwellings may be on unsuitable sites and require relocation or extensive redevelopment. The point is that re…

Robber-CrabsThese powerful land crabs inhabit deep burrows, which they make for themselves beneath the roots of trees.Ihey climb trees and eat cocoa-nuts, which they break open by hammering upon one end of the shell with their huge "pincers."In their burrows they accumulate immense quantities of cocoa-nut fibre, which the Malays sometimes collect to use as junk.'

Home Ownership and Rural-Urban Links in Uganda
In recent years the housing problems of Africa's burgeoning cities have become a primary concern of governments, international agencies, and scholars, but there appears to be a marked distinction between the approach contained in many national development plans and the focus of much academic research. A central feature of plan documents is the assessment of accommodation needs and the elimination of established deficits which are based, in the ma…
