Out now: latest British Journal of Criminology

The latest issue of the British Journal of Criminology includes several articles on the growing field of security studies.

In their introduction, Adam Crawford and Steven Hutchinson observe this paradox: 'security has undoubtedly become one of, if not, the key problematic of our time. Paradoxically... we live in what are possibly the most secure, orderly and civil times in recorded history, particularly in Europe.'

Free to read content in this edition includes:

• Sylvia Walby, Jude Towers and Brian Francis on why violent crime has been rising, not falling.
• Stephen Farrall, Colin Hay, Will Jennings and Emily Gray on the effects of right to buy on domestic property crime.
• Rowland Atkinson and Thomas Rodgers on online pornography and violent video games.
