Perceptions of Safety Among Taxi and Rideshare Service Patrons: Gender, Safekeeping And Responsibilisation International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-04-20 Bianca Fileborn,Elena Cama,Alison Young
Rideshare and taxi services may commonly be perceived as safer modes of travel, particularly in comparison to public transport, and the introduction of rideshare services such as Uber has transformed urban mobilities. Yet, there is emerging anecdotal evidence to suggest that both taxi and rideshare services are sites of sexual harassment and violence. However, little is known about passengers’ perceptions

Swallowing the Black Pill: Involuntary Celibates’ (Incels) Anti Feminism within Digital Society International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Angus Lindsay
Involuntary celibates (incels) are part of the online ‘manosphere’ and have been widely discussed in contemporary media in recent years due to their involvement in several offline mass murders. This article presents empirical data that specifically map aspects of the incel worldview: the ‘black pill’. Analysis of online discussion forums demonstrates how incels believe society is ordered through a

Ecological Ruptures and Strain: Girls, Juvenile Justice, and Phone Removal International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Michelle Lyttle Storrod
Girls in the juvenile justice system routinely have their cell phones and internet access removed as a part of court orders. Building on feminist criminology and ecological systems theory, this paper will demonstrate that phone removal causes a rupture of girls’ digital ecology. This rupture exacerbates strains conducive to crime and victimization. Findings are generated from an ethnographic study

Predictive Algorithms in Justice Systems and the Limits of Tech-Reformism International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Pam Ugwudike
Data-driven digital technologies are playing a pivotal role in shaping the global landscape of criminal justice across several jurisdictions. Predictive algorithms, in particular, now inform decision making at almost all levels of the criminal justice process. As the algorithms continue to proliferate, a fast-growing multidisciplinary scholarship has emerged to challenge their logics and highlight

Environmental Harm and Decriminalization of Traditional Slash-and-Burn Practice in Indonesia International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Rika Fajrini
Traditional slash-and-burn as a way of clearing land for farming is allowed and exempted from being a criminal offense in Indonesia. However, this exemption should not be interpreted to mean that all traditional slash-and-burn practices are sustainable. Changes in habitat and sociocultural and economic conditions can render this once sustainable practice unsuitable in certain contexts and environments

Good Tech, Bad Tech: Policing Sex Trafficking with Big Data International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Richard Kjellgren
Technology is often highlighted in popular discourse as a causal factor in significantly increasing sex trafficking. However, there is a paucity of robust empirical evidence on sex trafficking and the extent to which technology facilitates it. This has not prevented the proliferation of beliefs that technology is essential for disrupting or even ending sex trafficking. Big data analytics and anti-trafficking

‘You Can’t Actually Escape It’: Policing the Use of Technology in Domestic Violence in Rural Australia International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Bridget Harris,Delanie Woodlock
The abuse of technology by perpetrators of domestic violence is ‘spaceless’; however, in this article, we argue that experiences of and responses to digital coercive control are shaped by both the place (geographic location) and space (practical and ideological features of a location) that a victim/survivor and criminal justice agency occupy. We examined this issue by conducting interviews and focus

Green Criminological Dialogues: Voices from Asia. International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 David Rodríguez Goyes,Orika Komatsubara,Laÿna Droz,Tanya Wyatt
Many different languages and disciplines are involved in Asian research on environmental conflicts. Linguistic diversity combined with the varied economic, legal, political and social contexts of the Asian continent gives birth to myriad debates about environmental crime and harm. Borders between disciplines are blurred and take different shapes depending on the linguistic and academic contexts. As

A Post-Capitalocentric Critique of Digital Technology and Environmental Harm: New Directions at the Intersection of Digital and Green Criminology International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Laura Bedford,Monique Mann,Marcus Foth,Reece Walters
Only recently have scholars of criminology begun to examine a wider spectrum of the effects of digital technologies beyond ‘cybercrime’ to include human rights, privacy, data extractivism and surveillance. Such accounts, however, remain anthropocentric and capitalocentric. They do not fully consider the environmental impacts caused by the manufacture, consumption, use and disposal of digital technologies

Stalking is one of the main types of abusive behaviour facilitated by technology. The purpose of the current study was twofold: to identify the challenges of cyberstalking investigations and prosecutions in Australia and determine how best to investigate these types of offences. A qualitative analysis of four years of interviews, focus groups and participant observations with police departments provides

The Carceral Automaton: Digital Prisons and Technologies of Detention International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-02-09 Carolyn McKay
Prisons are on the cusp of a technological transformation as twenty-first-century digital connectivity in ‘free’ society permeates prison design and offender management. This article will begin with an overview of the digital technologies in ‘smart’ prisons. Two limbs are emerging: technologies that are embedded into the infrastructure of prisons to benefit authorities through heightened security,

Crime in the Age of the Smart Machine: A Zuboffian Approach to Computers and Crime International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-01-31 Kevin F Steinmetz
This analysis ruminates on the quintessential qualities that underpin the relationship between computers and crime by drawing from the foundational work of Shoshana Zuboff, a scholar whose work has to date been largely ignored in the study of crime. From this perspective, computers are best described as “informating” machines that require “intellective skills” in both licit and illicit forms of work

Dynamics of Social Harms in an Algorithmic Context International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-01-24 Hanna Maria Malik,Mika Viljanen,Nea Lepinkäinen,Anne Alvesalo-Kuusi
Growing evidence suggests that the affordances of algorithms can reproduce socially embedded bias and discrimination, increase the information asymmetry and power imbalances in socio‑economic relations. We conceptualise these affordances in the context of socially mediated mass harms. We argue that algorithmic technologies may not alter what harms arise but, instead, affect harms qualitatively—that

Harm Imbrication and Virtualised Violence: Reconceptualising the Harms of Doxxing International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2022-01-17 Briony Anderson,Mark A Wood
This article develops a framework for analysing the harms of doxxing: the practice of publishing personal identifying information about someone on the internet, usually with malicious intent. Doxxing is not just a breach of privacy, nor are its effects limited to first‑order harms to an individual’s bodily integrity. Rather, doxxing increases the spectre of second-order harms to an individual’s security

The Experience of Safety, Harassment and Social Exclusion Among Male Clients of Sydney’s Medically Supervised Injecting Centre International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-15 George Dertadian,Stephen Tomsen
Research on drug harm reduction services has found these operate as a safe haven from health harm. Less is known about the wider sense of security experienced by clients of such services as a counterbalance to social marginality in their daily lives. As part of a larger study of the experience of violence among Australian men, the authors completed 20 qualitative semi-structured interviews with male

Law, Justice, and Indigenous Intergenerational Trauma—A Genealogy International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-13 David McCallum
Aboriginal Australians experience trauma that is linked to continuing colonising practices in the present, and which are also reproduced throughout the more than 230 years of colonisation. Intergeneration trauma intersects with the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the welfare and justice systems. This paper examines evidence of the relations between trauma and colonialising practices imposed

The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court and the Normalisation of Barbarity International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Ana Flauzina,Thula Pires,Gisella Lopes Gomes Pinto Ferreira
This paper aims to explain the legal-political vocabulary that informs the decisions of the Brazilian Supreme Court on prison issues, giving prominence to the dimensions of race, gender, class and sexuality. In particular, it seeks to show the role of judicial action in the reproduction of black genocide, with significant implications for women, and how the Supreme Court acts as an authority over the

Why Decriminalise Prostitution? Because Law and Justice Aren’t Always the Same International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Jane Scoular,Sharron FitzGerald
Leigh Goodmark’s work on domestic violence argues for alternatives to criminal justice to ‘solve’ issues of gendered violence. The criminalisation of sex work and prostitution is rarely discussed in this context—a rather odd omission given the increasing trend towards ‘criminalising demand’ and counter-calls for decriminalisation in this domain. In this article, we bring the two debates into conversation

Judicial Restorative Justice and Domestic Violence in Brazil: Setting Problems and Challenges from the Field International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Carmen Hein Campos,Cristina Rego Oliveira
The solution of conflicts, cases of violence and harmful offences through alternatives to the penal system has been encouraged by Brazil’s Conselho Nacional de Justiça/National Justice Council (CNJ) since 2010. However, empirical studies that assess the impact of restorative practices when applied to domestic violence cases are sparse because most of them tend to highlight the retributive model’s insufficiency

Prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic, domestic and family violence (DFV) had been recognised globally as an epidemic in its own right. Further, research has established that during times of crisis and/or after disasters, rates of DFV can escalate. The COVID-19 pandemic has been no exception, with emerging research from around the world confirming that the public health measures and social effects

Gender-Based Violence, Law Reform, and the Criminalization of Survivors of Violence International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Leigh Goodmark
Criminalization is the primary societal response to intimate partner violence in the US. This reliance on criminal legal system interventions ignores several unintended consequences. One of the serious unintended consequences of criminalization — perhaps the most serious unintended consequence — has been the increased rates of arrest, prosecution, conviction, and incarceration of those whom criminalization

Temporary Migration and Family Violence: How Perpetrators Weaponise Borders International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Marie Segrave
This paper explores the implications of domestic and family violence occurring across borders, specifically the utilisation of border crossings to exert control and enact violence. While gendered violence can and does occur in border-crossing journeys, this paper focuses more specifically on how domestic and family violence extends across national borders and how violence (or the threat of violence

Policing Gender Violence in Vanuatu International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Melissa Bull,Nicole George
Gender violence is one of the greatest challenges to peace and security in Pacific Island Countries. The persistence of this problem is often linked to the limits of state-based policing authority. It is argued that this approach fails to grapple adequately with hybrid systems of regulatory authority in Pacific Island Countries that include customary and faith-based forms of authority. Feminist inquiry

Decriminalizing Domestic Violence and Fighting Prostitution Abolition: Lessons Learned From Canada’s Anti-Carceral Feminist Struggles International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Gillian Balfour
This article offers a cautionary tale for efforts to decriminalize domestic violence through a retrospective analysis of Canadian feminist legal activism to decriminalize sex work. Both domestic violence and sex work are contested terrains of activism, litigation, and scholarship and have come up against the disparate views of criminalization as necessary to protect women from violence, versus criminalization

Janus in the Metropole: Moroccan Soldiers and Sexual Violence Against Women in the Spanish Civil War International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Gema Varona
Approximately 80,000 Moroccan men fought on the side of Franco in the Spanish Civil War. When the colonial wars ended, those men were recruited from very poor villages (some of them at the age of 16). Although the core collective memory that remains about those Moroccan troops (‘the Regulars’) concerns absolute cruelty, particularly towards women, they also form part of the history of the Spanish colonisation

Notes on Gender, Race and Punishment From a Decolonial Perspective to a Southern Criminology Agenda International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-12-01 Camilla Magalhães Gomes
The purpose of this article is to investigate how decolonial studies can contribute to an agenda of southern criminology and in particular, but not exclusively, to our research on gender and gender violence. To do so, the path chosen was to first present the common lines between these ways of theorising. Then, the entanglements of race and capitalism and of race and gender in the decolonial perspective

Police and Vulnerability in Bail Decisions International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-11-08 Danielle Hughes,Emma Colvin,Isabelle Bartkowiak-Théron
Since bail legislation was enacted in the 1970s, Australia has experienced a continual increase in the number of prisoners on remand. Amendments to bail legislation and police discretion have been shown to contribute to this increase. Further, an accused’s vulnerability affects whether they are granted or denied bail, with vulnerable people being more likely to be denied bail. Vulnerability in the

Wildlife faces a number of threats due to human activity, including overexploitation from excessive and/or illegal trade. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is the main international legal instrument to address such overexploitation. However, not all species threatened by excessive trade are protected by CITES, leading to criticism that it is

Conservative religious, activist and political groups fuel gender backlash in many spaces. This paper explores this phenomenon and its effects on educational programs designed to prevent gender-based violence in Brasilian schools.

Primatology, Green Criminology, and the Impacts of Science on the Non-Human World: A Debate from Japan International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-27 Kazutaka Hirose
Primatology was initiated in Japan in 1948 by Kinji Imanishi and his colleagues. A distinctive feature of Japanese primatology is adopting the technique of ‘anthropomorphising’ non-human primates and establishing friendly relationships with them through feeding and other means. Following the anthropomorphic stance of primatology in Japan, yielding many scientific findings, succeeding generations turned

Of Bastions and Bulwarks: A Multi-Scalar Understanding of Local Bordering Practices in Europe International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Barbara Oomen,Moritz Baumgärtel,Sara Miellet,Tihomir Sabchev,Elif Durmuş
In recent years, local authorities in Europe have increasingly developed bordering practices that hinder or further migrant rights, such as the freedom of movement. They bypass national borders by facilitating refugee resettlement, they claim local space to welcome or shun certain migrants, and they develop or break down local impediments to migrant mobility. These local practices, we argue, can best

Bordering Through Exemption: Extracontinental Migration Flows in Mexico International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Amalia Campos-Delgado
This paper examines Mexico’s governmentality of extracontinental migration in transit to the United States. It argues that, in the context of transit control regimes, exemption is instrumentalised as a bordering mechanism and practice in which transit states assume, react and utilise their role as a ‘transit’ country. By drawing on statistical information about migrant populations from Asia and Africa

The Power of Racialized Discretion in Policing Migration International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Alpa Parmar
Discretionary practices have often been put forward to explain the racially disproportionate patterns we see in policing. The focus on discretion rather than racism neatly shifts attention away from race and instead towards discretionary practices, which are notoriously amorphous and inscrutable. The attention towards discretion (rather than race) further allows race to operate without being explicitly

“I call it a system.” Unauthorized Migrants’ Understandings of the Long Reach of Dutch Internal Migration Controls International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Mieke Kox,Richard Staring
We draw on the concept of deportability to show how unauthorized migrants who (used to) live in the Netherlands perceive and experience Dutch internal-control mechanisms. We first conclude that these migrants’ deportability has serious legal, social, and existential effects on them, which they feel long after their return or deportation to their home country. Second, we state that unauthorized migrants

The Judiciary Power of Discretion in Sanctioning the Facilitation of Unauthorised Stay in Poland International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Witold Klaus,Monika Szulecka
Migration control in Poland is significantly based on internal control practices carried out by street-level bureaucrats representing both law enforcement agents and low-level judges equipped with discretionary power. Based on empirical data from 243 criminal cases of facilitating unauthorised stay in Poland, we reflected on how the mentioned actors and, in particular, criminal judges interpret the
