Ericson (Surveillant Assemblages) (SA)
> Surveillance tech uses manipulation of digital data > physical bodies > Combo of diff tech into powerful SA e.g. CCTV footage anaylsed w/ face recognition software
26
Feely & Simon (Actuarial Justice)
> Uses algorithms predict % of ppl offending but focus on groups > ppl 2 > e.g. airport S&S based on risk factors e.g. reg/age etc classify groups based on perceived danger.
27
Lyon (Actuarial Justice)
> Categorise ppl, so able 2 treat diff based on lvl of risk e.g. counter-terrorism scheme in Birmingham > Surrounding 2 muslim areas w/ 150 cameras

Criticisms of Actuarial Justice
> Offender profiles complied w/ OS, show young B M + likely 2 offend > Profiling = police targeting & SFP > = + likely 2 be caught & convicted
29
Labelling & Surveillance
> CCTV operators targets blacks due 2 racist stereotypes > = SFP, criminalization of black + as offences revealed > Criminalisation of others lessened as offences ignored
30
Purposes of Punishment
> Deterrence > Rehabilitation > Incapacitation > Retribution
31
Deterrence (Purposes of Punishment)
> Stops future offending future > e.g. Thatcher’s Sharp Shock regime in youth offenders institutes
32
Rehabilitation & Incapacitation, Retribution | Purposes of Punishment
> Reducate & help offenders e.g. drug addicts (REH) > e.g. maiming & execution (IN) > Entitlelment 4 revenge for breaking shared VC (RET)

34
Durkheim (Aim of Punishment & 2 Types of Justice)
> Allows SS & reinforces CC e.g. retributive > Collectively severely lashing out vs D 4 breaking = librium e.g hanging > Restitution, repair damage restore 2 prior state e.g. compensation
35
Criticisms of Durkheim view on Punishment
> Too simplistic, traditional societies use restitutive > retributive > e.g. paying off blood feud > execution
36
Althusser (Marxism, Capitalism & Punishment)
> CJS is RSA, tool UC uses 4 defence of property/power > Agency of fear, WC fear taken away from familiy so always conform
37
Rusche & Melossi (Marxism, Capitalism & Punishment)
> Reflects eco base of society, imprisonment dominant under capitalism > Time is £ & so pay by doing time, removes ability 2 earn wages > Prison/capitalist factory, both strict discipline, subordination & no freedom
38
Kirchheimer (Marxism, Capitalism & Punishment)
> Change in punishing w/ transportation 2 cheap prison labour, reflects eco needs of UC > As capitalist eco based on exploitation of labour
39
Weberianism (Perspectives on Punishment)
> Only state can punish D's not church like past now based on impersonal regulations set by large gov
40
Changing Role of Prisons
> Pre-Industrial EU used fines execution, prison used 4 holding D's b4 punishment > Now worst punishment, fails 2 stop reoffending & skls of crime > Populist punitiveness est 80's, MP's want harsher sentence, but = + prison pop
41
Garland (Penal Welfarism)
> est 50’s used of PW, CJS tried rehabilitating D's 4 reintergration > Move 2 punitive state’ w/ ‘culture of control’ & punish D's w/ actuarialism, incarceration, transcreation > MP's use idea of being tough on crime 2 win elections
42
Carrabine et al (Consequences of + Prison Population)
> Now over pop w/ poor sanitation & lack of educational & wrk opportunities & inadequate family vists
43
Garland (Era of Mass Incarceration)
> + prisonsers in US 3% of adult pop, no longer incanceration of individual > Now systematic imprisonment 4 groups of pop e.g. 4 every 100K YBM 3.5K imprisoned > US prison soaks up -40% of unemployed - capitalism look + successful.
44
Transcreation & Prison
> Ppl locked into a cycle of control, shifting through carceral agencies in lives > e.g. in care > young offenders’ institute, prison & mental hospital inbetween
45
Cohen (Alts to Prison)
> + controls e.g. probation, curfew, electric tagging, put net of control > + ppl > Don't take young away from CJS, but diverts e.g. ASBO fast track 2 custodial sentence
46
UN Definition of Victims
Person harmed through acts/omissions violating laws of state.
47
Victimology (KS)
> Christie (Victims & Social Construction) > Miers (3 Areas of PV) > Hentig (V Proneness) (PV) > Wolfgang (V Precipitation) > Mawby & Walklate (Structural Factors) > Tombs & Whyte (Safety Crimes & Ideological Function of De-Labelling) > Pynoos - Indirect V’s of Crime
48
Christie (Victims & Social Construction)
> Stereotype of ideal V favoured by society & media is weak > Innocent & blameless & target of a stranger’s attack.
49
Miers (3 Areas of Positivist Victimology)
> Factors making some ppl/groups + likely to be V’s > Focus on interpersonal crimes of violence > Identify V’s contributing to own victimisation
50
Hentig (V Proneness) (PV)
> V’s + likely to be F, OAP or low IQ, so ‘invite’ victimisation purely due to their character > Also lifestyle factors e.g. V’s openly display weath
51
Wolfgang (V Precipitation)
> V’s triggers events leading to crime vs them e.g. murder & being 1st to use violence > e.g. where V was M & perpetrator F
52
Criticisms of PV
> Ignores wider structural factors e.g. poverty, patriarchy, racism etc > Victim blaming, your own fault e.g. rape cases ‘’she asked for it’’ - not sound argument > V’s may be unaware of own victimisation e.g. crime vs environment w/ harm done, but no law broke
53
Features of Critical V-ology & Crime
``` > Structural Factor > State Denial of Label of V > Safety Crime > Ideological Function of Power to Label > Hierarchy of Victimisation ```
54
Mawby & Walklate (Structural Factors) - Features of Critical V-ology & Crime
e.g. patriarchy & poverty so F & WC @ + risk of victimisation a form of structural powerlessness.
55
State Denial of Label of V - Features of Critical V-ology & Crime
> State reserves power to label, but withholds it frm some e.g. police don’t press charges vs M for assaulting wife > Denies her V status

Tombs & Whyte (Safety Crimes) - Features of Critical V-ology & Crime
> Company violation of law leading to deaths seen due to ‘accident prone’ workers. > Denies V, V status’ & blames them for their fate.
57
Tombs & Whyte (Ideological Function of De-Labelling - Features of Critical V-ology & Crime
> Conceal true extent of V-sation hides crimes of UC & denies powerless V’s justice > Powerless + likely to be victimised, yet least likely to have this acknowledged by state.
58
Criticisms of CV
> Ignores V’s may contribute to V-sation through not securing homes etc > Rich @ risk of crime as they’re attractive target to criminals, but not accounted 4 by CV
59
Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
``` > Class > Age > Ethnicity > Gender > Repeat V-isation ```
60
Class - Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
> WC + likely to be V-ised e.g. crime rates + in areas of + unemployment & poverty e.g. WC can’t afford security > Homeless ppl + likely to experienced violence > general pop
61
Age - Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
> Young ppl @ + risk of v-isation. infants + risk of being murdered > Teens + vulnerable to adults for crimes e.g. assault, theft/abuse home. > Old @ + risk of abuse e.g. nursing homes, but v-isation is - visible.
62
Ethnicity - Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
> EM @ + risk > whites of general crime/racially motivated > EM, young & homeless + likely to report feeling under-protected yet over-controlled.
63
Gender - Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
M > F are V’s of violence & homicide, but + F V’s of DV, rape etc
64
Repeat V-isation - Factors Impacting ppl Becoming V’s
> Ppl already V’s + likely to be V’s again, 60% not V’s of any crime in last yr > But 4% of V’s of almost ½ crime in that period.
65
Impact of Crime on V’s
Fear of crime, disrupted sleep, helplessness, security-consciousness etc
66
Pynoos (Indirect V’s of Crime)
> Kid witnesses of sniper attack had PSTD/bad dreams, yr after event > Hate crimes has waves of harm, radiates out to others intimidating whole communities > Challenge value system of society
67
AO3 (KS) SCP
> Chaiken (Displacement) | > Feminist (CCTV)
68
Feminist (CCTV) AO3 (KS) ​SCP
> Form of MG, observe F & control them
69
Trends in Punishment
> Changing Role of Prisons > Transcareation > Alt's 2 Prison
