Cascading Constraint and Subsidiary Discretion
This article explores how discretion is managed and exercised across senior, middle, and street levels of policing. It uses qualitative data from two studies in England. The first, a study across three police force areas, involved interviews and focus groups with 221 people who were designers, deliverers, and recipients of police-led drug diversion. The second study used 354 hours of ethnographic observation and 21 interviews to examine stop-and-…
A realist review on the police use of stop and search powers
Proponents of police use of stop and search powers argue that they are essential to prevent crime and improve public safety. However, there is increasing evidence that stop and search generates a range of adverse effects, including poor mental health outcomes. Missing from these debates is an understanding of the mechanisms that drive the practice and why and in what circumstances it can lead to negative outcomes. To fill this gap, a realist revi…
Structural and functional changes in an Australian high-level drug trafficking network after exposure to supply changes
The price and mark up of pharmaceutical drugs supplied on the black market
Drug sourcing and motivations among a sample of people involved in the supply of pharmaceutical drugs in Australia
Alternate policing strategies
The deterrent effects of Australian street-level drug law enforcement on illicit drug offending at outdoor music festivals
Deemed Supply in Australian Drug Trafficking Laws
In Australia, eight of the nine legal jurisdictions have enacted ‘deemed supply’ provisions for illicit drug trafficking offences that presume ‘intent to supply’ based on the quantity of a drug an alleged offender is found with and attach criminal liability for the offence of supply. Such laws have been enacted for more than 35 years. In this article we critically examine: the rationale for the widespread adoption of Australian deemed supply laws…

Drug policy coordination
Performance Monitoring of Australian Drug Law Enforcement Agencies
Attention to performance monitoring of Australian drug law enforcement (DLE) agencies has increased in recent years. Yet history has shown efforts often come to nothing. Indeed the status quo — where there are undefined goals and scant reliable indicators of performance — has been maintained, despite 25 years of calls for improvement. The purpose of this article is to refocus attention from how Australian DLE performance monitoring ought to be me…
News Media Consumption among Young Australians
Research suggests youth make active choices about how they use and respond to media. Yet publicly available information outlining patterns of youth media consumption and how content is perceived - especially in relation to reporting of issues of pertinence to youth - is limited. Using an online survey of 2296 Australians aged 16-24, we measured news media consumption and perceptions of reporting on illicit drugs. The study concluded that Australi…
Young People's Perceptions of, and Engagement with, News Media Reporting on Illicit Drug Issues
Illicit drug issues have a pervasive presence in mass media. Yet, despite 25 years of research exploring questions of bias, sensationalism and inaccuracies in news media portrayals of illicit drugs, how audiences engage with these portrayals (and their capacity to filter, interpret, deconstruct and even reconstruct media messages) has been neglected. Drawing on focus groups conducted in 2010 with 52 Australian young people aged 16–24 years, this …
