The Health Needs of Sex Workers and the Factors that Enable or Hinder Their Access to Services: A Co‐Produced, Multimethod Study in the United Kingdom
Background ‘Sex work’ encompasses various services, including online and direct selling of sex, both indoors and outdoors. While legal in the United Kingdom, certain activities (e.g., soliciting) are prohibited. Globally, sex workers encounter multiple challenges, with legal frameworks and societal attitudes affecting their health and safety. Despite this, literature on sex workers’ health needs is limited and tends to focus on sexual health and …
Classical deterrence theory revisited: An empirical analysis of Police Force Areas in England and Wales
The severity, certainty and celerity (swiftness) of punishment are theorised to influence offending through deterrence. Yet celerity is rarely included in empirical studies of criminal activity and the three deterrence factors have never been analysed in one empirical model. We address this gap with an analysis using unique panel data of recorded theft, burglary and violence against the person for 41 Police Force Areas in England and Wales using …
Pricing group membership
We consider a model where agents differ in their ‘types’ which determines their contribution towards a club good (i.e public good within a group). We analyze what the equilibrium composition of groups are under mandated and voluntary choice. We show that there exists a top-down sorting equilibrium i.e. an equilibrium where there exists a set of prices which leads to groups that can be ordered by sets of types, with the highest types in the group …
Impacts of an Intervention to Improve the Identification, Referral and Safety of Those Experiencing Domestic Violence: A Mixed Methods Study in the UK
This study is the first evaluation of the impacts on long-term health issues (and associations with ethnicity and poverty) of a domestic violence intervention, Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS). IRIS is a domestic violence training, support and referral programme based mainly in primary care settings. This was a convergent, parallel, mixed methods UK study. In the quantitative phase, we matched the health records of 294 patient…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in the UK: A longitudinal household cross-sectional study
These findings suggests that trust in public sector officials play a key factor in the low vaccination rates particularly seen in at-risk groups. Given the additional morbidity/mortality risk posed by COVID-19 to those from lower socio-economic or ethnic minority backgrounds, there needs to be urgent public health action to review how to tailor health promotion advice given to these groups and examine methods to improve trust in public sector off…
The Experiences of Post-Separation Survivors of Domestic Violence During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Findings From a Qualitative Study in the United Kingdom
Post-separation for domestic violence (DV) survivors is known to be a period of heightened risk of domestic homicide. Evidence points to increased rates of DV during the Covid-19 pandemic, with specific challenges in help-seeking from DV services, yet studies that capture this qualitatively are still emerging. This UK study investigated the experiences of 21 separated DV survivors (all women) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Inductive, thematic anal…
Alternatives to Custody: Evidence from Police Force Areas in England and Wales
England and Wales have some of the highest incarceration rates in the developed world. Recent policy reforms have focused on developing alternatives to custody that offer credible protection for the public, and justice for victims of crime. This article uses unique detailed panel-level data acquired from the Ministry of Justice for all Police Force Areas from 2002 to 2013 in England and Wales to analyse the effects of custodial and non-custodial …
The effect of the election of prosecutors on criminal trials
Market thickness, prices and honesty: A quality demand trap
Pre-electoral Coalitions and Post-election Bargaining
We study a game-theoretic model where three political parties (left, median and right) can form coalitions both before and after the election. Before the election, coalitions can commit to a seat-sharing arrangement, but not to a policy platform or a division of rents from office; coalition members are free to break up and join other coalitions after the election. Equilibrium pre-electoral coalitions are not necessarily made up of the most ideolo…
Coalition Theory and Its Applications: A Survey
We survey some of the major advances in coalition theory in recent years. We then look at the recent applications of the theory in the area of political economy and touch upon some important theoretical and applied open questions in the field. Copyright 2006 Royal Economic Society
Positive Political Theory II: Strategy and Structure
This is a major accomplishment by two brilliant luminaries in the field. This book starts off from strategic issues in collective decision making, and then moves on to mainstream political economy themes of elections and legislative bargaining. The style is rigorous and theorists are likely to find this an attractive book to read. Casual readers hoping to get a quick primer on political economy may find this book unsuitable. This is because the a…
