“…There is much to learn from scholarship that has aimed its focus on the distinctions between the police and the military as there also is from a more recent academic interest in the blurring of policing roles and responsibilities (Degenhardt, 2013(Degenhardt, , 2016Loader & Percy, 2012;). In McCulloch's (2016) analysis, an examination of roles indicates a trajectory of a weaponization of the police.…”

“…This is perhaps the closest referent we have for the role of the military where personnel work alongside the public police, private companies, and the judiciary as a facilitator of order and security. Loader andPercy (2007, p. 249 cited in Weiss, 2011) consider the U.S. framing of this role as the "world policeman" a metaphor that invites us into this blurring of functions. Yet, while the military is not permitted to use force unless under attack, they are of course still armed.…”

Growth in the Armed Forces undertaking public policing is occurring in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and as such a complex security landscape emerges, both practically and conceptually. The aim here is to pose questions of the manifest and latent issues in the assemblage of multiple actors in public policing. It aks to reader to consider the implications of military actors transitioning from defence duties ordinarily associated with military work, to policing activities in public spaces. Taking the London 2012 Olympic Games as our point of reference, this article argues that to understand military presence, their role must be considered in the broader context of military and policing functions, the 'war on terror', accountability, and future priorities for public policing. We must be careful not to assign the presence of the military into pre-existing understandings of how mega-events should be securedthe military patrolling the streets of London represents more. Instead, as their presence comes to be legitimate in certain geopolitical contexts, critical questions must be asked especially as public and private arrangements are continually reworked in the domestic fight against terrorism.

“…Crime and justice have traditionally been seen as phenomena on the national level. This chapter has argued that the notion that there is a distinction between the domestic and the international, or between 'inside' and 'outside', should be challenged (Loader and Percy, 2012). We are living in an era where the received inside/outside binary has been radically disturbed.…”

Global Prison Ethnography

Prison populations have grown in most European countries over the last few decades. Simultaneously, the prison populations have changed profile considerably in many jurisdictions. The average proportion of foreign nationals prisoners in Western European prison systems is currently 26 per cent. In stark contrast, Eastern European countries normally have very small numbers of foreign national prisoners. The everyday difficulties associated with housing all these foreigners who might have different wants and needs than what one commonly finds among domestic prisoners combined with the ever-growing task of transferring prisoners and deporting newly released former prisoners will be a formidable challenge for European criminal justice systems in years to come. This chapter explores and discusses how prison ethnographers should react to such developments. Inspired by Burawoy's work on global ethnography, it is an invitation to a global prison ethnography.

“…As significant and widereaching as contemporary security-related developments are, they have only infrequently been addressed through structured interdisciplinary dialogue (Loader and Percy 2012). 1 There is a clear need, therefore, to explore potential interaction and engagement between scholarship from different backgrounds and traditions which now share this common problematic, including in particular criminology, sociology, law and socio-legal studies, and politics and international relations.…”
