“…Studies on, for example, art festivals (Quinn, 2005;Waterman,1998), folk festivals (Quinn and Wilks, 2017), local community festivals (Clarke and Jepson, 2011), and food and wine festivals (Yuan et al, 2008), have developed our understanding of the growing diversity and popularity of festivals and their significance in terms of social relations, economic investment and community cohesion. Whilst there are criminological contributions considering issues of transgression, hedonism and intoxication, discussed above, the gendering of festival space and issues of safety and violence within festivals have not been a primary concern to those working or researching this space (Gisbert and Rius-Ulldemolins, 2019).…”

“…However, issues related to perceived risk, security and safety at festivals have emerged, with Mintel (2017) finding that 44% of attendees feel unsafe at music festivals; with 58% of males aged 16-34 years, more likely to feel unsafe, as opposed to 53% of women in the same age group. Whilst recent media and scholarly research have focused on racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and sexual harassment at festivals (Davies, 2017;Gisbert & Rius-Ulldemolins, 2019), Mintel (2017) found violence and drugs as the primary perceived risk factors. Other issues are related to fraud, theft Smith, 2012, p. 69), BT emerged to utilize those traits and characteristics for identification and verification purposes.…”

The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of user acceptance of Biometric Technologies (BT) at outdoor music festivals in the United Kingdom. While research on such technologies, such as facial recognition is limited in the events context, they have already been deployed at music festivals to deal with issues of security, safety and crowd management. Using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a self-administered questionnaire was completed by young adults in the United Kingdom who had previously been to a music festival. The study found factors such as privacy, reliability and accuracy did not have a significant impact on user acceptance. Other factors, such as trust, compatibility and convenience were found to have a significant positive impact on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and attitude to use. As the findings indicate that accuracy and privacy do not impact BT acceptance, the paper explores how organizers can be transparent and accountable as to their intentions to use BT, so as to justify the usefulness of BT to attendees, artists, regulators and authorities.

Experts, activists, and girl bosses of the nuclear apocalypse: feminisms in security discourse

Having long been regarded as irrelevant to the high politics of foreign affairs, feminism and gender equality have in recent years gained increased attention in international security debates, including discussions about nuclear weapons policy. Several governments have adopted official feminist foreign policy postures, international security institutions have launched inquiries into gender equity and representation, and a myriad of security actors have enthusiastically embraced the language of women’s empowerment. Mapping the various modes of purported feminist practice on display in the nuclear policy field, we find that being “pro women” has become a sought-after rhetorical asset on both sides of the nuclear weapons debate. Reflecting wider trends in the corporate world, constituents of the nuclear weapons industry have increasingly embraced liberal feminist language and workplace diversity goals. These practices, we suggest, have helped challenge the perception of the nuclear industry as overly masculine, aiding recruitment to, and overall political legitimation of, the nuclear weapons enterprise. This development is significant because it functions to undercut the association between feminism and opposition to nuclear weapons, thus complicating efforts to advance arms control and disarmament through feminist interventions.
