First published in 1999, this volume brings together for the first
time the work of leading researchers in the new field of
governmentality studies and crime control. Specific chapters of the
volume are written by leading internationally-recognized
criminologists and socio-legal scholars from Canada, the U.S.,
Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Individual chapters deal with
key theoretical and methodological issues now being addressed by
researchers in the field, while also reporting the results of
innovative theoretically-informed research on a range of
substantive topics including: crime prevention: dangerousness:
criminalisation and gender: risk management and government of drug
users: along with the government of youth, property relations,
urban space and indigenous peoples. Collectively, chapters reflect
the range of new theoretical approaches and substantive research
topics that are being developed by socio-legal scholars and
criminologists who are working in the wake of the critical
postmodern tide that is entering law and criminology partly through
the influence of Foucault.
Fragile Settlements compares the processes by which British
colonial authority was asserted over Indigenous peoples in
south-west Australia and Prairie Canada from the 1830s to the early
twentieth century. At the start of this period, in a humanitarian
response to settlers’ increased demand for land, Britain’s
Colonial Office moved to protect Indigenous peoples by making them
subjects under British law. This book highlights the parallels and
divergences between these connected British frontiers by examining
how colonial actors and institutions interpreted and applied the
principle of law in their interaction with Indigenous peoples “on
the ground.”
