Towards a Criminology of the Domestic

an article by Pamela Davies and Michael Rowe (Northumbria University, UK) published in The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice Volume 59 Issue 2 (June 2020)

Abstract

Criminology has paid insufficient attention to the ‘domestic’ arena, as a locale that is being reconfigured through technological and social developments in ways that require us to reconsider offending and victimisation.

This article addresses this lacuna.

We take up Campbell's (2016) challenge that criminology needs to develop more sophisticated models of place and space, particularly in relation to changing patterns of consumption and leisure activity and the opportunities to offend in relation to these from within the domestic arena.
