British Society of Criminology Conference 2008: CFP
***CALL FOR PAPERS CLOSES 10TH FEBRUARY ***
British Society of Criminology Conference 2008
9-11 July 2008
Hosted by the Applied Criminology Centre
University of Huddersfield
Criminological Futures; Controversies, Developments and Debates
The title of the 2008 Conference reflects the breadth of contemporary
criminology and the diversity of theoretical and applied approaches to
analysing, explaining and reducing crime.
Whilst it is intended that the theme of the conference should reflect
the broad range of current debates and controversies within the field of
criminology, there will be a specific emphasis upon:
1. Building bridges between theory, research and practice
2. Technologies for crime detection and prevention
3. The role of Practitioners
There will be three major plenary sessions. In the first, Professor
Julian Roberts, University of Oxford and Dr Shadd Maruna, Queens
University Belfast, will be talking about issues surrounding Sentencing,
Rehabilitation and Reintegration.
In the second, Professor Barry Goldson, University of Liverpool and
Martin Narey, Chief Executive, Barnados will discuss the question of the
use of evidence in relation to youth justice policy and the link between
poverty and youth crime.
In the third, Professor Martin Gill, Director of PRCI and Professor
Sandra Walklate, University of Liverpool, will address the culture of
fear and surveillance: does it work?
Other highlights of the conference include a conference dinner speech by
Professor Jock Young, University of Kent, entitled "The Criminological
Imagination". There will also be a number of book launches, a series of
author/editor meets critics sessions and a conference dinner on the
evening of Thursday 10th July, held at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainsley
Top, Huddersfield.

URBAN RESIDENTIAL TRANSFORMATIONS
(Sponsored by the Urban Geography Study Group)
The transforming socio-spatial structure of metropolitan areas is a dominant
theme in urban geographical research internationally. Processes of
globalisation, economic restructuring, along with governance, demographic and
socio-cultural transformations continue to generate reconfigurations of urban
structure, built form, social and spatial organisation. These reconfigurations
demand our ongoing attention. The drivers and outcomes generated by diverse
socio-political and geographical contexts present a fertile ground for urban
empirical and theoretical research.
Urban residential environments are a key domain in which drivers of
metropolitan change intersect, reflected in the increased pace, extent and
complexity of established and emergent urban residential forms: private
residential estates, master-planned estates, brownfield residential
redevelopments, high-rise apartment blocks, new-build gentrified developments,
caravan parks and more. The impacts of this proliferation of residential forms
play out at the individual, household, neighbourhood and city scale. They both
reflect and drive changes in the nature of the development industry,
mechanisms of urban governance, patterns of urban sociability, neighbourhood
functioning, and understandings of home.
This session invites papers to generate discussion on the empirics and
theorisation of urban residential transformations. It aims to bring together
papers examining how emerging residential forms are impacting on cities and
citizens in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and more broadly. Further, it
aims to generate reflection on how to productively theorise and critique these
changes. Papers for this session may address, but are not limited to, the
following themes:
* The empirical scope, extent and nature of transformation to urban
residential form
* Mechanisms and implications for urban governance
* Residential form and urban sociability
* Structures of residential provision
* Cultural values, meanings of home and urban residential transformation
* Methodological approaches for understanding the lived realities of new
residential forms
* Implications for theorising the urban
Abstracts of approximately 250 words should be sent to the session convenors
by Monday March 10th.
