‘On-road’ is a complex term used by young people to describe
street-based subculture and a general way of being. Featuring the
voices of young people, this collection explores how race, class
and gender dynamics shape this aspect of youth culture. With young
people on-road often becoming criminalised due to interlocking
structural inequalities, this book looks beyond concerns about
gangs and presents empirical research from scholars and activists
who work with and study the social lives of young people. It
addresses the concerns of practitioners, policy makers and scholars
by analysing aspects and misinterpretations of the shifting
realities of young people’s urban life.
As social media is increasingly becoming a standard feature of
sociological practice, this timely book rethinks the role of these
mediums in public sociology and what they can contribute to the
discipline in the post-COVID world. It reconsiders the history and
current conceptualizations of what sociology is, and analyzes what
kinds of social life emerge in and through the interactions between
'intellectuals', 'publics' and 'platforms' of communication.
Cutting across multiple disciplines, this pioneering work envisions
a new kind of public sociology that brings together the digital and
the physical to create public spaces where critical scholarship and
active civic engagement can meet in a mutually reinforcing way.
Postcolonial legacies continue to impact upon the Global South and
this edited collection examines their influence on systems of
policing, security management and social ordering. Expanding the
Southern Criminology agenda, the book critically examines social
harms, violence and war crimes, human rights abuses, environmental
degradation and the criminalization of protest. The book asks how
current states of policing came about, their consequences and whose
interests they continue to serve through vivid international case
studies, including prison struggles in Latin America and the misuse
of military force. Challenging current criminological thinking on
the Global South, the book considers how police and state overreach
can undermine security and perpetuate racism and social conflict.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of the
state's response to public health and public order issues through
deeply flawed legislation. Written in the context of the
#BlackLivesMatter protests, this book explores why law enforcement
responses to a public health emergency are prioritised over welfare
provision and what this tells us about the state's criminal justice
institutions. Informing scholarly, civic and activist thinking on
the political nature of policing, it reveals how increasing police
powers disproportionately affects Black people and suggests
alternative ways of designing public safety beyond a law
enforcement context.
