• W2804319998 abstract "Why ‘liquid criminology’?For quite some time, the term ‘liquid’, both as a descriptor and a metaphor, has been associated primarily with the work of Zygmunt Bauman. It was invented by him at the turn of the millennium in the book Liquid Modernity in order to capture the new social landscape that confronted social researchers as well as ordinary people who, according to Bauman, had been used to navigating in a so-called ‘solid modern’ world. Its use is intended, in part, to capture the rapidly changing nature of the social world. In this worldview, not only have the foundations of social life become slippery and hard to grasp, the very things that people rely on are subject to constant re-configuration and re-negotiation. Such liquidity has become the default position for normal life. Now fluidity is the norm instead of solidity. As Bauman says:Liquid life is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty. The most acute and stubborn worries that haunt such a life are the fears of being caught napping, of failing to catch up with fast moving events, of being left behind, of over-looking ‘use by’ dates, of being saddled with possessions that are no longer desirable, of missing the moment that calls for a change of tack before crossing the point of no return. (Bauman 2005: 2)If this view of the social world has legitimacy, and this collection starts from the position that is has, what implications does that have for doing research on the social world? Contrary to the situation in the discipline of sociology, and despite promotion of the notion by some of the stalwarts of the field (Ferrell, Hayward and Young 2008), the metaphor of liquidity has still not really caught on as a household concept within the field of criminology, although it has now been – with some time delay – widely accepted and adopted within many other neighbouring disciplines (see e.g. Jacobsen 2015). True, Bauman himself has not yet ventured into analysing the notion of ‘liquidity’ comprehensively or systematically to the topic of crime, although he has incidentally discussed and applied his general terminology to the topic of crime. He has also insisted that ‘the new focus on crime and on dangers threatening the bodily safety of individuals and their property has been shown beyond reasonable doubt to be intimately related to the mood of precariousness’ (Bauman 2007: 17; see also Daems and Robert2007). Perhaps for Bauman’s own lack of a systematic application of the metaphor of ‘liquid modernity’ to the topic of crime, or perhaps for other reasons, the number of books, journal articles or research reports specifically owing to, drawing on, utilizing or playing with the notions of ‘liquidity’, ‘liquid modernity’ or ‘liquid crime’ is still not impressive (for a few exceptions, see e.g. Bolden 2012; Varney 2009; Zedner 2006), and the concept has so far not become a catchphrase for the discipline of criminology. However, the metaphor has not been entirely ignored. In criminology, this view of the social world has perhaps been most readily embraced in the work of Jock Young (1999, 2007, 2011). To Young, showing significant inspiration from Bauman’s own analysis, the vertigo of such a liquid modern world is increasingly characterized by:broken narratives where economic and ontological insecurity abounds . . . [In such a world] the nature of crime and the response to it is far from mundane; that the actors are far from pallid creatures calculating the best manoeuvres through the social world in order to minimise risk and maximise contentment and that much of the dynamic behind crime is resentment and much of the response to it is vituperative. (Young 2007: 20)In discussing the implications of such liquidity, Young (2007: 3) suggests that ‘all of this creates great potentialities for human flexibility and reinvention. Yet it generates at the same time considerable ontological insecurity – precariousness of being’. This takes its toll on both social and individual processes, but, for the purposes of this edited collection, it also challenges criminology in how, as a discipline, it can conduct its business." @default.
