The ‘action/inaction conundrum’ in early interventions to prevent extremism
This article conceptualizes the existence of an ‘action/inaction conundrum’ for practitioners delivering early interventions to prevent the onset of extremism among young people. At a time of heightened trepidation that government programmes are not performing well, as well as concerns that extremism itself has evolved and broadened, there is an allure to earlier intervention. Yet, practitioners refer to unintended consequences, such as labelling…
Specialist policing units as a pathway towards procedural justice for domestic abuse victims
The available research on specialist policing responses to violence against women and girls highlights multiple benefits. However, there is limited evidence about the key features of specialist units, the specific mechanisms that lead to improved outcomes, and the extent to which procedural justice theory can be seen to underpin specialist alternatives to ‘business as usual’ policing approaches. This paper advances knowledge on the topic of speci…
Design and Implementation of a National Program to Monitor the Prevalence of Sars-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies in England Using Self-Testing
Data System. The UK Department of Health and Social Care funded the REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission-2 (REACT-2) study to estimate community prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies in England. Data Collection/Processing. We obtained random cross-sectional samples of adults from the National Health Service (NHS) patient list (near-universal coverage). We sent participants a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) self-test…
Principles we talk by
This paper takes two behavioural principles which have been suggested as explanatory models for human conversation, and tests them on a corpus of task-oriented dialogues (the HCRC Map Task Corpus). The principles chosen are Clark’s Collaborative Theory and Shadbolt’s Principle of Parsimony, which are both interested in notions of effort although they come from entirely different subfields of linguistics. The aim of the study is to compare the exp…
Assisted’ facial recognition and the reinvention of suspicion and discretion in digital policing
Automated facial recognition (AFR) has emerged as one of the most controversial policing innovations of recent years. Drawing on empirical data collected during the United Kingdom’s two major police trials of AFR deployments—and building on insights from the sociology of policing, surveillance studies and science and technology studies—this article advances several arguments. Tracing a lineage from early sociologies of policing that accented the …
Global health education in UK medical schools
INTRODUCTION: In recognition of our increasingly globalised world, global health is now a required component of the medical school curriculum in the UK. We review the current provision of global health education (GHE) in UK medical schools to identify gaps in compulsory teaching. METHODS: We conducted a review of the literature to inform a two-part electronic survey of global health compulsory teaching, optional teaching and pre-elective training…

How Co-Production Regulates
This article examines how and why regulatory influences tend to embed within the practices of co-production. Informed by empirical data derived from semi-structured interviews conducted with a sample of experts in co-production, the analysis seeks to illuminate some of the ‘soft’ and ‘interactive’ forms of regulatory work that are performed. In so doing, the discussion provides a ‘lightly’ critical reading of co-production and draws in Erving Gof…
Unity in disunity
This paper takes as a point of departure the website of the “Voices” project, a large media enterprise on languages in the UK conducted by the BBC in 2003–2005. With the help of the notions of language ideology and the analytical tools of multimodal critical discourse analysis, the paper shows how representations of languages on the website are a discursive terrain on which negotiations of national identities are played out. Essentially, the argu…
Communities of practice
Communities of practice has emerged as an alternative to other current sociolinguistic models such as speech communities and social networks, particularly in the area of language and gender. The valorization of non-linguistic behaviours as adding further explanatory power to sociolinguistic models is timely: it has often been implicit in linguistic study (through ethnography) but rarely been given recognition. However, the types of self-constitut…
