“…Researchers have even connected social isolation to the ongoing opioid epidemic sweeping parts of the USA, especially in rural places (McLean 2016). Indeed, overdose deaths did increase during the Covid-19 pandemic (Trappen and McLean 2021). For educators, this does not suggest our students will suddenly become addicts due to online classes, only that there can be high societal costs to lost community that may not be apparent for decades.…”

Protecting the University as a Physical Place in the Age of Postdigitization

Covid-19 forced higher education sectors across the world to digitize the entire university experience online. There are now calls for universities to continue chasing continued and further digitization, often from for-profit businesses and those in Silicon Valley who have been promising to disrupt the sector for decades. We argue that the pandemic has illustrated how crucial universities are to their local communities, and efforts should be made to emphasize their physical place and space. The destruction of American cities in favor of auto-centric suburbs provides a parallel for the possible future of higher education. The Cult of Efficiency mindset and accountability models that dominated neoliberal discourse offered the impetus for highway construction through city centers, often razing Black neighborhoods and ruining communities and culture along the way. The calls for the full digitization of universities echo this same possible destruction for the sector. This is not a Luddite warning to reject all digitization, instead, it is a rejection of the hyper-capitalization of higher education and the disruption promised by for-profit businesses, along with a reminder that the sector should be a local public good.

“…For example, in the United States, empirical research has shown that Black and Hispanic individuals were likelier to be the target of police interventions for public health orders (Dunbar & Jones, 2021; Gibbons et al, 2021; Kajeepeta et al, 2022). Similarly, the pandemic and resulting policing environment could have made life harder for other vulnerable populations like sex workers, the homeless, persons living with mental health issues, and injection drug users regarding their ability to seek help or avoid contact with the police under the auspices of public health orders (Lam, 2020; Menichelli, 2021; Trappen & McLean, 2021).…”

Using cross-national data collected during the pandemic, this study examines factors influencing public willingness to obey and cooperate with police during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data for the study were garnered using web-based surveys, which yielded about 500 participants from the U.S., India, Brazil, Kenya, and several European countries. OLS results revealed that police legitimacy remains a crucial predictor of public willingness to obey and cooperate with the police. However, fears experienced during the pandemic failed to directly predict public's obligation to obey the police and their willingness to cooperate with the police. Interestingly, fear had an indirect effect on the relationship between police legitimacy and the obligation to obey and cooperate with the police. Conceptualizations of police legitimacy should continue to be tested, alternative versions of surveying without the limitations of COVID-19 should be undertaken, and attempts to understand more local environments should be made.

“…The first and most prominent theme relates to police enforcement of pandemic-related laws and regulations (such as lockdown restrictions) and public perceptions of and compliance with this enforcement (see Biswas and Sultana 2020 ; Boon-Kuo et al 2021 ; Farrow 2020 ; Grace 2020 ; Jankovic and Cvetkovic 2020 ; Jiang and Xie 2020 ; Jones 2020 ; Ka-Ki Ho et al 2020 ; Luong 2020 ; Perry and Jonathan-Zamir 2020 ; Reicher and Stott 2020 ; Deckert et al 2021 ; McCarthy et al 2021 ; Mazerolle and Ransley 2021 ; Sargeant et al 2021 ; Scalia 2021 ; Terpstra et al 2021 ; Waseem 2021 ). The second theme concerns the police response to more established crimes and vulnerabilities within the context of the pandemic, such as domestic violence (Nix and Richards 2021 ; Walklate et al 2021 ; Workman et al 2021 ), mental health (Lersch 2020 ), cybercrime (Horgan et al 2021 ) and the production, supply and consumption of illicit drugs (Marks et al 2020 ; Trappen and McLean 2021 ). The third theme revolves around police occupational culture and wellbeing during the pandemic (Rooney and McNicholas 2020 ; Stogner et al 2020 ; De Carmargo 2021 ; Fleming and Brown 2021 ; Kypriandes et al 2021 ).…”

Critical workers? Private security, public perceptions and the Covid-19 pandemic

This article is among the first to explore the role and status of the private security industry during the Covid-19 pandemic. Focussing on the UK case, it illustrates how even though most private security officers were designated as ‘critical workers’ in this time of crisis, performing a range of functions essential to national infrastructure and law and order, the public have been slow or reluctant to recognise the contribution of the sector. It argues that this disposition is reflective of a longstanding public ambivalence or unease towards the private security industry which can ultimately be traced to the state-centric sociological terrain of the policing field.
