Imposed Mobility, Legal Ambiguity, Institutionalized Abandonment: Exploring the Sex Work Crimscape in Contemporary Poland Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-08-30 Agata Dziuban
When conceptually framed as a crimscape, the contemporary landscape of sex work criminalization can be understood as a complex array of policies relating to sex work, migration, trafficking, fiscality, and labor. Rather than working in isolation, these measures intertwine to shape the working conditions and lived realities of migrant sex workers. Through ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Ukrainian

This article aims to document the experiences of women crossing borders through unauthorised routes and the impact that migration policies have on their journeys.

The Spirit of Ultra-Realism: Meditations on Metaphysics and Criminal Etiology Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-08-21 Kevin F. Steinmetz, Edward L. W. Green
Ultra-realism is a relatively new theory that attempts to explain crime as a product of neo-liberal capitalism through various complex processes. While the perspective has brought a much-needed energy to critical criminological discourse, it is not without its issues. This analysis presents three interrelated concerns. First, the theory’s causal claims rooted in transcendental materialism are fundamentally

Drawing on interviews with 164 people experiencing homelessness across Australia, this article discusses the concept of hyper-policing to account for excessive police interventions.

Normalizing State Rape: (In)Voluntary Consent and the Body Cavity Search Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-06-05 Vivian Swayne, Tyler Wall
This paper exposes the body cavity search as a quotidian technology of state sexual violence. The practice has escaped isolated, sustained scrutiny even within critical scholarship. Rather than relying on state definitions for our analysis, we collected publicly available victim testimonies, contextualized alongside abolition feminist critiques that describe the practice for what it most clearly is:

Sentencing disparity research has generally focused on the Black-white binary or treats Latina/o/x/s as a monolithic group. Less attention has been paid to the ways that diverse racial identities among Latina/o/x/s may correlate with sentence severity. We integrate insights from Latinx studies to examine sentence length disparities in Florida from 2015 to 2017, with a particular interest in comparing

Corrective rape can be defined as a hate crime that entails the rape of any member of a group that does not conform to gender or sexual orientation norms, where the motive of the perpetrator is to “correct” the individual, fundamentally combining gender-based violence and homophobic violence. In South Africa, this type of discriminatory act is more common in rural townships, where women have less independence

We investigate the role of joint fantasising in constructing criminal identities. By analysing joint fantasies that emerge from interactions among four men who comprise a motor vehicle theft group, we identify three dimensions of identity: “We are professionals,” “We provide a service, not bad people,” and “We are victims of an unjust society.” Joint fantasising shaped participants’ collective self-perception

Sexual violence has many impacts on survivors’ sexuality, but most research has focused on how it affects sexual behaviors and relationships rather than survivor conceptions of their sexuality more holistically. In addition, most research is centered around straight survivors. The current study used qualitative interview data from a queer sample of substance-involved sexual assault survivors to explore

A Mixed-Method Analysis of the News Media Framing of Gender Non-Conforming Victims of Homicide in the U.S. from 2012 to 2022 Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Susana Avalos, Hayley Jackey, Iyan Wickel
Recent analyses of transgender homicide victims find that the news media often uses improper terminology, delegitimizes, and victim blames them. These analyses, while insightful, are limited as they have largely analyzed cases involving trans women and trans feminine individuals. The present study employs a mixed-method approach to analyze news media articles (N = 88) published in U.S. online news

Trans women have distinct dynamics in abusive relationships that cisgender women may not experience (e.g., purposeful misgendering). Therefore, it is important that IPV service providers recognize the unique needs of trans women to provide appropriate care. We draw on data from a larger study employing an online open-ended survey with a hypothetical vignette depicting a trans woman experiencing IPV

The outbreak of the social pandemic brought to the foreground the crisis of social reproduction afflicting our societies.

Prison sexual violence in the USA was first addressed in 2003 with the passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The act was intended to protect all people who are incarcerated from sexual violence, but the reality is that transgender people in the carceral system are sexually assaulted at rates much higher than their cisgender counterparts. Drawing from theories of institutionalism, critical

Rural Culture and Coercive Sexual Environments: A Queer Path from Victimization to Incarceration Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 April N. Terry
Coercive sexual environments (CSE) create communities that support, and even encourage, the sexual harassment and exploitation of young women.

Teen Courts as Alternative Justice? Teens’ Carceral Habitus and the Reproduction of Social Inequality Critical Criminology (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Sarah Gaby, Amy M. Magnus
Teen courts are one branch of a specialized, “alternative” justice system that promises a pathway out of the criminal justice system. Teen courts center teens as both defendants and arbiters of justice, which attempts to turn the traditional juvenile justice system on its head. Yet, these purportedly alternative justice initiatives are inextricably tied to and shaped by youths’ carceral habitus, their

In Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut (1999), an introductory sociology textbook appears on screen for a relatively long time. The analytical framing of this textbook yields an insight that helps us understand Kubrick’s filmography, as the framing suggests that humans and their civilized societies cloak some dangerous cultural motivations, acquired throughout a long process of evolution.

Despite mass protests, demands to defund the police, and a range of institutional reforms, historic patterns of abuse and violence in US policing persist. This article calls for a renewed and reinvigorated critical policing studies to give leadership in the search for remedy. Fifty years ago, Taylor, Walton, and Young envisioned a “fully social theory of deviance” to guide a new critical criminology
