“…Furthermore, a strong argument can be made that Appalachia America fits Carrington, Hogg and Sozzo's (2016: 6) observations that 'there are enclaves of the South within the North'. This nonlinear assumption effectively nominalises the relationship of cohesion and crime and, along with a recognition of great rural diversity, avoids old and anachronistic rural-urban and disorganisation-organisation binaries (Carrington, Hogg and Sozzo 2016) associated with Tönnies (1955), Wirth (1938), the Chicago School of Sociology (Sampson 2012) more specifically, and western criminology more generally (Connell 2007).…”

A substantial proportion of the world's population remains rural, despite decades of urbanisation. Further, most of this rural population lies south of the equator. Therefore, it is incumbent on the emerging fields of rural criminology and global southern criminology to mutually reinforce each other's scholarly development. To this end, this article engages three selected issues associated with agriculture and food -agricultural victimisation, food security, and farmworker abuse and trafficking -and discusses them in terms of the advancement of a global southern criminology. The article concludes with acknowledgement of many more rural crime issues that have particular salience to the global South and warns of new dangers in the development of hegemonic binaries (Carrington, Hogg and Sozzo 2016) and homogenous categories of knowledge (Connell 2007) if they fail to inform each other.

Negotiating a Concurrence: Tracing the Visible/Invisible Relocation within Migrant-Inhabited Cities of China

It is essential for us to illuminate the specific role and adaptation process of China's internal peasant-origin migrants (or the peasant flood), who have experiences not entirely different from those suffered by overseas immigrants. A number of reasons convince us to draw this conclusion, including the large gap in income compared to local workers, the fact that they share different cultural values to native residents and the noticeably lower living standards between the areas of the migrants' origin and their destinations.Migration in China is an experience that begins before people move away from their place of origin and continues long after arriving in their new home destinations. As a unique feature of migration research, national relocation is not simply a crossing of a geographical boundary, but also a transgressing of social and psychological environment barriers. Our research intends to examine the underestimated or marginal character played by such outsider crowds with special regard given to the individual's experience of unfamiliar settlements. This involves exploring the role of migrants' transformation through the misapprehension that relocation is merely a geographical movement. We suggest that visible relocation brings other incidental replacements, such as changes in identity, psychological cognition and social cohesion.

“…Wirth est sans doute l'un des premiers à avoir défini le fait de vivre entouré d'individus aux caractéristiques individuelles diverses comme l'une des spécificités du « mode de vie urbain » (Wirth, 1938). À partir de données d'enquêtes, les sociologues se sont depuis intéressés à cette hétérogénéité essentiellement à travers la taille et la composition de la population étran-gère dans un certain quartier, les revenus de ses habitants et leurs posip.220-239 -221 tions sur le marché du travail.…”

La diversité sur le palier. Catégorisations ordinaires d’un voisinage hétérogène à Genève

L’hétérogénéité de la population des centres urbains européens est souvent présentée comme une cohabitation de divers groupes (ethniques, nationaux, sociaux). L’article questionne cette perspective en se demandant comment — dans des immeubles dont la population reflète la mobilité internationale, les inégalités socioéconomiques mais aussi la diversification des modes de vie — les individus eux-mêmes perçoivent cette hétérogénéité. À travers des entretiens avec des résidents de quatre immeubles de Genève, j’analyse la manière dont ils décrivent leurs voisins. Plutôt que de les classer en groupes et de se référer à « nous » et à « eux », les interviewés combinent des catégories qui varient selon le voisin dont il est question. Toutefois, même pour les anciens résidents, certains voisins restent des inconnus dont ils ignorent jusqu’à l’existence. J’interprète ceci comme une conséquence de la grande hétérogénéité de la population étudiée, mais aussi de la moindre visibilité des voisins et de leurs activités, ainsi que de l’absence, à l’échelle des immeubles du moins, de réseaux de voisinage stables et soudés. Ainsi, loin d’être toujours des espaces d’interconnaissance, les immeubles s’apparentent à une juxtaposition d’espaces privés (les appartements) et quasi publics (les parties communes), où la coexistence passe par des formes de retenue et d’indifférence à l’égard des autres et de leurs différences
