A subtle kind of certainty
Using data collected from 42 semi-structured interviews with professional financial planners and eight recorded meetings between planners and clients, this paper examines two interrelated social phenomena from a Bourdieusian (1977, 1991) perspective. First, it examines how professional financial planners legitimize their expertise by constructing and maintaining a distinction between short-term economic uncertainty on one hand, and the inevitabil…
Dirty Harry and the station queens
In this article, we take advantage of the versatility inherent in Merton's work and apply his theory of social structure and anomie to the realm of policing.

On the basis of 32 semi-structured interviews with financi…
