ECR collective response
First paragraph: We were delighted to be asked to respond to Richard Spark’s paper. We are encouraged by the themes and issues highlighted, and feel passionately about many of the areas of future research identified in the piece. Indeed, many of the areas of scholarship (such as research with the Global South, practices and experiences of crime and punishment, violence in all its forms, crime and technology, socio-legal research, and political di…
Judicial independence
This article draws on biographical narrative accounts of retired Scottish judges to provide insight about the operation of judicial independence in the routine practice of criminal justice. This oblique and often reified legal concept is given new meanings and understandings through the lived experiences of retired judicial actors, demonstrating its role as the ‘master narrative’ of the judiciary in their routine sentencing work. This research po…
Neoliberal Policy and the Meaning of Counterintuitive Middle-class School Choices
This article considers how the nature and effects of neoliberal policy in education are illuminated by the outcomes of a study of white middle-class families choosing ordinary state secondary schools in England. Having described the main features of the study and some of its findings, consideration is given to specific 'global' dimensions - one in terms of parental perceptions and the other drawing upon analysis of the global effects of neolibera…
He was a bit of a delicate thing’
This paper examines the impact of gender on white middle‐class parents’ anxiety about choosing inner‐city comprehensives and their children’s subsequent experiences within school, particularly in relation to social mixing. Drawing on interview data from an ESRC funded study of white middle‐class parents whose children attend inner‐city comprehensives, we find that parents have higher levels of anxiety about their choice for boys than for girls, e…
White middle‐class parents, identities, educational choice and the urban comprehensive school
At a time when the public sector and state education (in the United Kingdom) is under threat from the encroaching marketisation policy and private finance initiatives, our research reveals white middle‐class parents who in spite of having the financial opportunity to turn their backs on the state system are choosing to assert their commitment to the urban state‐run comprehensive school. Our analysis examines the processes of ‘thinking and acting …
Re-Invigorating Democracy
Recent research on social class and whiteness points to disquieting and exclusive aspects of white middle class identities. This paper focuses on whether 'alternative' middle class identities might work against, and disrupt, normative views of what it means to be 'middle class' at the beginning of the 21st Century. Drawing on data from those middle classes who choose to send their children to urban comprehensives, we examine processes of 'thinkin…
A Darker Shade of Pale?' Whiteness, the Middle Classes and Multi-Ethnic Inner City Schooling
Drawing on data from interviews with 63 London-based families, this article argues that there are difficult and uncomfortable issues around whiteness in multi-ethnic contexts. Even those parents, such as the ones in our sample, who actively choose ethnically diverse comprehensive schools appear to remain trapped in white privilege despite their political and moral sentiments. This is a complicated question of value; of having value, finding value…
