Social Suffering
Child protection systems across the English-speaking world have been subject to critique in recent years, identified as overly procedural and compliance-based, within which relationships between social workers and clients are characterised by mutual suspicion and animosity. This article draws on findings from a knowledge exchange project in which a university social work department worked with two local authorities with the aim of bringing about …

Trauma Deserts
Objectives. We examined whether urban patients who suffered gunshot wounds (GSWs) farther from a trauma center would have longer transport times and higher mortality. Methods. We used the Illinois State Trauma Registry (1999–2009). Scene address data for Chicago-area GSWs was geocoded to calculate distance to the nearest trauma center and compare prehospital transport times. We used multivariate regression to calculate the effect on mortality of …

This paper examines three examples of ‘civilian policing’, including two ‘Street Watch’ schemes and a private security firm. It explores the legitimisation of civilian policing schemes by the police, along with the exte…
Who Needs Theories in Policing? An Introduction to a Special Issue on Policing
Policing, or to be more precise, the activities and policies of the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales, has been the subject of extensive review and reform over the past 40 years. Indeed the whole history of the police is one of almost constant change and development but this has never been more apparent than in the recent past. Successive governments have embarked on a series of police reforms which have seen a significant shift i…
Democracy and Policing
Household Security’
The extension of private security patrols into public spaces has increased considerably in recent years and both the government and the police service have indicated a willingness to seek ways to accommodate and regulate private security companies. This article presents the results of a study into the operation of one private security company in a working‐class area in the North of England. It examines some of the difficulties that will be faced …
