What is of relevance to European criminology
This paper considers what is relevant to European criminology from the editorial perspective of the European Journal of Criminology (or EJC), and critically examines this through decolonial and southern criminological lenses. By briefly reviewing some of the key concepts and arguments from these scholarships, this paper questions whether European criminology – and, hence, the EJC – should be solely focused on research on and from Europe, or that …
The Effects of Criminalisation on Activists: The Case of the NoTAP Environmental Movement
Does criminalisation have “chilling effects” on activists? If so, which are the criminalisation phases or strategies that discourage activists to act freely and in exercise of their human rights? This article investigates the chilling effects of criminalisation beyond the phases or strategies of police repression, labelling/stigmatisation, and surveillance, which have been addressed in the relevant multi-disciplinary literature thus far. Using th…
Criminalisation of Dissent in Times of Crisis
Security governance, harms and resistance: Recalibrating security and redefining incivility through legitimacy concerns
Examining the harmful effects of some existing governance approaches to urban space and various types of resistance to them, we outline a new framework to develop and evaluate security approaches in the city – in particular, towards ‘incivilities’. This framework relies on the redefinition of security, which we extended far beyond the realm of crime to include social security and concerns around vulnerability, sustainability, inclusion and so on,…
Human control and ‘management’ of nonhuman animals: New research directions for green criminology
This article enriches and invigorates the green criminological scholarship concerned with nonhuman animals by proposing two research directions centred around the critical analysis of human control and ‘management’ of wild animals. While the first of these directions considers the control of animals in the city, the second draws on green cultural criminology to deconstruct and unravel cultural, mediated and political dynamics surrounding nonhuman…
The Criminalization of Dissent and Protest
Increasing criminalization of dissent and protest in Western liberal democracies received relatively little attention in the past but is now becoming a significant field of research within criminology and the social sciences more generally. The specialist literature can usefully be linked to a wider literature that extends to work on protest policing and social movements and to sociolegal analyses of criminalization. There is a striking connectio…
Law in action: Local-level prostitution policies and practices and their effects on sex workers
This article comparatively analyses city-based prostitution policies and practices and their effects on sex workers in countries that have adopted a partial criminalization model of intervention towards prostitution – Belgium and Italy. The two case studies selected for this research – the cities of Antwerp (Belgium) and Catania (Italy) – were chosen for their adopted local approach towards prostitution in designated red-light districts (RLDs): w…
Harm and Disorder in the Urban Space: Social Control, Sense and Sensibility
Representations of environmental protest on the ground and in the cloud: The Notap protests in activist practice and social visual media
This article advances knowledge on activist technosocial practice by studying the realities and representations of on-the-ground environmental resistance and their intersections with visual representations of protest on Twitter. It does so by focusing on the case of resistance to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, commonly known as TAP, in southern Italy, and on mixed methods for data collection, including ethnographic observations, semi-structured int…
Medical Misinformation and Social Harm in Non-Science-Based Health Practices: A Multidisciplinary Perspective
This book brings together contributions of international academics from criminology, digital sociology, health psychology, medicine, law, physics, and journalism
Representing environmental harm and resistance on Twitter: The case of the TAP pipeline in Italy
This research explores a new methodological path for doing green cultural criminological research via social media. It provides original case-study data and aims to stimulate further empirical and theoretical debate. In particular, the study explores how Twitter users have represented the harms related to an ongoing pipeline project in Italy (referred to as TAP), and the resistance to those harms. To these ends, it offers a virtual and visual eth…
