Music is ubiquitous in contemporary societies, and criminologists are paying increasing attention to it, asserting that it takes antisocial, prosocial and anti-establishment forms regarding criminality. Established approaches provide vital ways to understand the relationship of music and crime, but criminologists have yet to theorise the fluidity of music's roles for those who have committed criminalised acts. The life-story interviews we conducted with prisoners in Latin America reveal that music's role in people's lives changes over the course of their lives in complex ways. It also frames and influences the way they talk about their own histories. Informed by repeat interviews with four prisoners, we suggest including the concepts of life courses and life stories to facilitate understanding the complexity and multi-dimensionality of the relationship between crime and music. We also demonstrate and discuss how life courses and life stories are intertwined.

Notwithstanding claims about the emergence of ‘crimmigration’ systems, immigration law and criminal law entail two different sets of instruments for authorities to control foreign nationals. Drawing on an analysis of removal orders for foreign offenders in Finland, this article demonstrates that significant administrative powers in immigration enforcement are employed largely autonomously from the criminal justice system. Immigration law enables the police and immigration officials to issue removal orders based on fines or penal orders for (suspected) minor offences, without obtaining criminal convictions. In addition to disproportionate administrative sanctions for foreign nationals, removal orders involve a preventive rationale targeting future risks for the society based on the assumed continuation of criminal activities. While criminal courts adjudicate all severe offences, punitive application of immigration law enables authorities to bypass criminal justice procedures and safeguards, resulting in a distinct, administrative punitive system for visiting third-country nationals.

In his 2020 article, Moffette – building upon the work of Valverde (2009, 2010) and De Sousa Santos (1987) – introduces the multi-scalared nature of governance structure as a lens to analyse how government actors responsible for migration and border control can, and are, using this structure to their advantage by shifting from one jurisdictional scale to the other – depending on what is most beneficial for them. In this approach, which acknowledges the pluralist nature of legal norms and systems, the notion of jurisdiction is to be understood in a dynamic way and as a power that sits with anyone – whether they are a formal state actor or not – who, “(...) wants to summon or enforce the law, make claims about the “where”, the “who”, the “what”, the “when”, and the “how” of law (Valverde, 2009) and provide rationales for why an act or a person, in a particular place, falls under the authority of a particular body and should be treated according to this or that kind of procedures.” (Moffette & Pratt 2020: 16). Looking at jurisdiction this way, addresses the performative aspect of jurisdictions. A similar performative quality has also been attributed to borders through the act(s) of bordering (also see Ford 1999 and Wonders 2006). The performance of jurisdictions is, or can be, at the same time, part of this performative act of bordering as the allocation of jurisdiction Corrigendum

Mass incarceration is a phenomenon that emerged in the USA in the 1970s. Since then, this pattern of imprisonment has taken shape in all other continents. Nowadays, many ‘core countries’ have been able to neutralize it and, in some cases, even reverse it. This, however, is not the case in Latin America. In this region, the increase of imprisonment rates has remained intense even in times of economic growth, in contrast to the main theories on punishment developed in the Global North. Drawing on primary and secondary data, I analyse the Brazilian case and indicate three necessary steps to understand contemporary imprisonment in the country. This article is structured in three main sections. I argue first that Brazilian criminologists have asked the wrong question: rather than asking why we have high imprisonment rates now, we should first understand why we had imprisonment rates comparable to Nordic countries up to the 1980s. I then argue we should stop uncritically reproducing northern theories and understand the local conditions of possibility for mass incarceration in times of social inclusion. I finally claim we should change the focus on the players: rather than pointing out to the Executive and Legislative dimensions, we ought to better understand internal struggles in the criminal justice system, considering in particular the pivotal role of judges in the Brazilian mass incarceration.

to understanding the dynamics between Sinn Fein, a plethora of dissident groups wedded to violence, nationalist/republican communities and the state. Dissidents characterize the IRA’s peace as the ultimate betrayal—by a treacherous leadership—of physical force republican principles. Ongoing attempts by the security service to recruit informers have been exploited by dissidents to fortify their self-reinforcing belief that nothing has changed. Appropriating the discourse of ‘underground penality’ allows them to also proclaim the right to punish traitors in their midst as well as criminal elements in nationalist communities. Sinn Fein claims that dissident groups are a malignant presence, infiltrated and in effect run by sinister elements within the British securitate. Appeals by Sinn Fein for nationalist/republican communities to actively co-operate with the police are, for dissidents, the final turn of the treacherous screw. These appeals also conflict with anti-informing and anti-police norms that are being generationally renewed within nationalist/republican communities. The realignments resultant from the struggle to control the ‘who is a traitor’ narrative within present day Irish republicanism, are for Dudai, the most headspinning aspects of the ‘war to peace’ transitioning process. Dudai is to be applauded for developing a persuasively structured analytical framework that enables us to understand how the demonization and punishment of informers has served a variety of shifting functions in the Northern Ireland context. This framework, which also contributes to the development of a wider understanding of penality, can also be the basis for researching ‘governing through informers’ in other contexts of prolonged political violence.
