From a single punch to weapon use
Public place violence has been linked to nighttime economy settings and intoxicated male strangers but it remains understudied what other types of violence are also found in public. In addressing this gap, we apply latent class analysis to develop an inductive event typology of public place violence based on analysis of 500 police reported public assaults from Copenhagen, Denmark. Five event-types of public violence are identified. In addition to…
Consolation in the aftermath of violent public assaults
Animal ethologists suggest that non-human primates console victims of aggression in a manner similar to humans. However, the empirical basis for this cross-species comparison is fragile, given that few studies have examined consolation behavior among humans. To address this gap, we revive and apply the underappreciated ethological branch of micro-sociology, which advocates the study of human interactions by applying ethological observation techni…
Intervention or Involvement
Little is known about how bouncer–patron interactions may influence a bouncer’s use of physical aggression. To address this gap, we offer a micro-interactional analysis examining real-life aggressive bouncer behavior captured by venue surveillance cameras. Quantitative results show that bouncer physical aggression is associated with interactions in which bouncers are directly involved as a conflict party, but not with interactions where they sole…
Caring collectives and other forms of bystander helping behavior in violent situations
Social science research has traditionally described bystanders in violent emergencies as being passive. Recent evidence, however, stresses that bystanders typically intervene proactively and successfully in violent, dangerous emergencies. This article examines the multiple ways bystanders act in situations of violence, with the aim of moving beyond the understanding of bystanders as being either passive or active. Based on a qualitative analysis …
On the Elementary Neural Forms of Micro‐Interactional Rituals
Randall Collins's interaction ritual ( IR ) theory suggests social solidarity as hardwired in the human neurological capacity for rhythmic entrainment. Yet, this article suggests that IR theory may benefit from being tied more firmly to recent neurobiological research, specifically Stephen W. Porges's polyvagal theory that proposes autonomic nervous system functioning as a basis for emotions and social behavior. In this perspective, IR theory doe…
Trusting the other or taking a chance? An investigation of chance and trust temporalities
Theories of modernity and risk society argue that increasing levels of risk fundamentally alter or lower the level of trust in society. In this article we argue that this assumption is based in a fallacious theoretical link between trust and risk. Rather than calculative assessment of risk and specific events, trust directs anticipation towards process. First, we outline dominant approaches to trust as a question of actions and uncertainty of out…
Sexuality in transit – gender gaming and spaces of sexuality in late modernity
Through an investigation of a reported rape, this article suggests that we conceive sexuality as a transitional object that changes and transforms depending on space and temporality. This makes sexuality difficult to grasp within specific and stable frames of gender and power analysis. Applying such an approach, the complexities of sexual assault, changing power relations and unstable narratives of gender and sexuality are illuminated. The analys…
Taking a Chance
This article analyzes the meaning of alcohol in relation to young people’s sexuality, with focus on acquaintance rape. Drinking is a way to stage oneself as mature; it is intentionally used by both male and female youth to make sexual pleasure possible. It is argued that in the context of sexuality among young people, there is a fine line between freedom and gender-specific restrictions. The research on acquaintance rape and alcohol drinking amon…
Prostitution – set fra et vinterkoldt Danmark
Seksualitet mellem risiko og chance. Svingninger i senmoderne værdiorienteringer
Marie Bruvik Heinskou: Sexuality between Risk and Chance: Oscillations in Late Modern Value Orientations This article examines how young people can seek sexual experiences that intensify their existence to such an extent that the experience itself is not assigned any meaning. It is merely perceived as a moment having its own temporality and its own internal experience, often called chance. For example young people often take a chance and refrain …
