answer the following question: A series of changes to official perceptions of crime, criminological discourse, modes of governmental action, and the structure and function of criminal justice agencies indicate that crime control has changed (Garland, 1996). Attempts to enhance security increasingly emphasize crime’s inevitability and address non-state actors in prevention activities; at the same time, there is a continued focus on strong state intervention despite little evidence that laws and punishment effectively prevent or control crime. Young argues that bulimia is a late modern social condition that results from the existence and intersection of highly contradictory processes (in Brotherton & Naegler, 2014). Individuals experience “pushes” and “pulls”, which can result in frustration, disaffection, and dehumanization (Brotherton & Naegler, 2014; Mythen, Walklate & Khan, 2009). “Prepressive” tactics are used against “risky” populations as they are believed to be the best mechanisms to pre-empt crime and govern the unknowable (Pleysier, 2015). Discuss the possibility that prevention tactics in the pursuit of security both reflect and reinforce the very social conditions that ultimately create crime and insecurity.
