  • Co-developing best bets for participatory disaster risk management in a postcolonial harmscape

    Open AccessLeif Petersen, Gillian F Black et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2025

    The conditions that characterize marginal and informal settlements in the Global South make the environmental hazards resulting from the current Climate Crisis more dangerous, giving rise to multifaceted risks that can be characterized as Anthropocene harmscapes. As such settlements are home to a large and growing population, this is an increasingly widespread problem that, if not addressed, could result in deaths, unrest and increasing numbers o…

  • Understanding resilience capitals, agency and habitus in household experiences of water scarcity, floods and fire in marginalized settlements in the Cape Flats, South Africa

    Open AccessSikhululekile Ncube, Anna Wilson et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2023

    A significant percentage of the urban population in most low- and middle-income countries live in informal settlements. Due to poor quality housing, dense settlement patterns and lack of risk reducing infrastructure, informal settlements are least prepared and at higher risk for climate change issues. Marginalized communities in settlements in the Cape Flats region of South Africa face a range of environmental hazards and risks including recurren…

  • Living the life of floods

    Open AccessA N Wilson, Liezl Dick et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2023Citada por: 3Referências: 13

    This article explores how place-based learning and the development of landscape literacies unfold in a place suffused with a complex set of risks resulting from inter-operating and intersecting sociohistorical, political and environmental factors. By analysing assemblages of images and accompanying texts produced through a photovoice process undertaken by co-researchers in an informal settlement in South Africa’s Cape Flats, we show that resident…

  • Still an ‘invisible crime’? Exploring developments in the awareness and control of human trafficking in Scotland

    Open AccessColin Atkinson, Niall Hamilton‐Smith et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Criminology2022

    In 2010 Korin Lebov published her article ‘Human trafficking in Scotland’, a state-of-the-field piece that reported on the nature and extent of human trafficking and the challenges in tackling this issue. Several important developments have occurred in the period since, including new enforcement measures, the first prosecutions and convictions for human trafficking in Scottish courts, the establishment of a dedicated policing unit within Scotland…

  • Networked territorialism

    Open AccessAndrew Clark, Andy Clark et al.ARTICLETrends in Organized Crime2021

    In the digital age, space has become increasingly structured by the circuitry of global capital, communications and commodities. This ‘network society’ splinters and fragments territorial space according to the hidden logic of networked global capital; with successful criminal entrepreneurs connecting bases in low-risk, controllable territories with high-profit markets. Drawing on a recent, large-scale study of organised crime in Scotland, in thi…

  • Public Processions and Social Context

    Open AccessNiall Hamilton‐Smith, Niall Hamilton-Smith et al.ARTICLEScottish Affairs2015Citada por: 3Referências: 3

    Research into the community impact of public processions was commissioned by the Scottish Government in 2013 at the instigation of the Advisory Group on Tackling Sectarianism. This study formed part of a wider project to gather evidence on the nature, extent and impact of sectarianism in, and on, Scottish life. The process of conducting research on the impact of public processions demonstrated the range of conceptual and methodological challenges…

  • The geometry of shadows

    Niall Hamilton‐Smith, Niall Hamilton-Smith et al.ARTICLEPolicing & Society2010

    This article reports on a research project that aimed to review existing law enforcement approaches to assessing the risk posed by organised crime, as well as to examine the experience of law enforcement officers in using some of these approaches in different parts of the UK. We first outline the background to the project, before discussing some of the theoretical issues that all organised crime risk assessment approaches must typically grapple w…

  • Theory-Driven Interviewing

    Open AccessNiall Hamilton‐Smith, Niall Hamilton-Smith et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Sociological…1998Citada por: 1Referências: 6

    This paper considers two approaches to utilising Pawson's theory-driven interview model as an attempt to overcome the traditional schism between quantitative and qualitative interview techniques. Both pieces of research are criminologically based though methodologically different. The first employs Pawson's model in the development of mid-range theoretical propositions relating to the embedding' of distinct policy initiative (phase II, Safer Citi…
