Abstract: Recent commentary on the punitive turn has focused on the repressive nature of criminal justice policy. Yet, on a marginalised council estate (social housing project) in England, residents appropriate the state in ways that do not always align with the law. What is more, where the state fails to provide residents with the protection they need, residents mobilise informal violence that is condemned by the state. An ethnographic analysis of personalised uses of criminal justice questions the state-centric assump… Show more

“…In the case of Park End, state officials whom residents encounter on a routine basis represent the antithesis of ordinary sociality. Men find that police closely monitor their movements and often stop and search them, arrest them, and issue them injunction orders (Koch ). Women tend to be in closer contact with representatives of the welfare state, including social workers, benefits officers, housing officials, and local government officials (Koch ).…”

“…Miller's conclusions also lead us to query some of the assumptions made by contemporary theories of punishment, including the assumptions on the public as inherently punitive. We find similar reflections for England and Wales in the work of Koch (2016 (Miller, 2016: 198;also Loader, 2008: 406) In sum, where 'the State' appears within the literature concerned with punishment and politics, it features at one of three levels: the sovereign State; the institutions of the State; the citizens of the State. Note that this classification is meant to be indicative rather than exhaustive.…”

“…I argue that these assumptions need to be explored further, and that they need to be contextualised. They are difficult to apply to Italy, but research drawn from the UK (Koch, 2016) suggests that the picture may be more complicated even within the one European polity thought to fit more squarely within narratives of 'punitiveness', and 'anti-politics'. Research from the US likewise suggests the specificity of American over-reliance on penal censure and the political dynamics (accessibility of institutions; levels of electoral competition) thought to accompany it (Garland, 2013;Miller, 2016;Lacey and Soskice, 2015).…”

“…Nas Ciências Criminais, em especial no campo da Crítica Criminológica, vem se sustentando que a relação entre o público e o sistema de justiça criminal está organizada em torno de uma cultura punitiva. Tal premissa conta com um acúmulo teórico da Sociologia da Punição que relaciona o aumento da punitividade a partir das décadas de 1970 e 1980 com a produção de uma cultura do controle, com arranjos de punição centrados na figura da vítima (Garland, 1999;2008) e com a reestruturação do Estado em Estado Penal no neoliberalismo (Wacquant, 2001(Wacquant, , 2009 (Carrington, Hogg, Sozzo, 2017;Brandariz-García, Sozzo, 2014;Koch, 2017).…”
