Para-crime: Notes Towards A 'Grey Criminology'.
Although criminology has long debated the so-called 'crime drop', the shifting nature of criminality complicates any clear-cut assessment. While some offences have decreased, this is not necessarily due to moral reform or growing securitisation but rather to transformations in crime modalities. The...

Indeed, instead of existing in opposition to legal orders, illegality thrives within them. It flourishes within their infrastructural vulnerabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
