Crafting Credible Homicide Narratives
Drawing upon qualitative data gathered during a four-year ethnographic study of homicide investigation in Britain, this paper explores how detectives, scientists, and other experts use findings from forensic sciences and technologies (FSTs) when constructing and modifying pre-trial homicide narratives. We consider how these narratives unfold from the earliest moments of the investigation and are told and re-told, as they are assembled into one co…
We need to talk about dialogue
In this paper, we explore the importance of dialogue for collaborative sensemaking during homicide investigation, focusing upon interactions between detectives, forensic scientists and other experts involved in managing and undertaking forensic work. Drawing on data from a 4-year ethnographic study of British homicide investigations, we provide insights from criminal justice actors about both the value of, and barriers to, inter-professional and …
Empowerment, Urban
The phrase “urban empowerment” has many different interpretations. For some, it's about empowering poor communities by building both public participation and sustainability from the ground up. For others, it's about inclusive urban planning and broad grassroots efforts. In the US context, if there is a common thread that runs through the period since the end of World War II, urban empowerment has more to do with coopting such efforts to policies …

Forensic Science
Forensic Science: A Very Short Introduction introduces the concept of forensic science and explains how it is used in the investigation of crime. In forensic science, a criminal case can often hinge on a piece of evidence such as a hair, a blood trace, half a footprint, or a tyre mark. High profile cases have attracted enormous media attention and enhanced this interest in recent years. However, the public understanding of forensic science is poo…
Modes of Engagement for Urban Research
Cities are increasingly cast as being shaped by globalization and related neoliberal policies. While these diverse literatures have provided needed theoretical advancement to rethink the city in relation to political-economic change, they also run the risk of conceptualizing, studying, and representing cities without sufficient attention to the spatial copresence of multiple actors. The result is that some treatments of the city reproduce a unifi…

Understanding Community Building in Urban America
Neighborhood-based community building has been positioned as an effective strategy for combating urban poverty in America. This paper considers three predominant models of community building in America, and focuses particularly on a contemporary derivative of these–community-building initiatives that claim to address the circumstances of urban poverty through people- and place-based neighborhood revitalization. The empirical evidence shows that t…
Organizational Culture as Contested Ground in an Era of Globalization
Many prior efforts have examined the personal characteristics of workers or the structural features of an organization that impact job satisfaction. By contrast, we examine organizational culture in the context of "high-performance work systems." We analyze the organizational culture of the United States Postal System, as it is presented in key organizational documents and perceived by workers. It is argued that a viable theory of job satisfactio…
Identity work by alternative high school students
This article examines the adaptive strategies of institutionally marginalized students in an alternative high school setting. Snow and Anderson's (1987) model of ''identity work '' is used to analyze the ways in which students symbolically distance themselves from certain features of their ''home'' school and embrace certain features of their alternative school. Drawing upon semistructured interviews with 25 students, it is argued that these dist…
