Clifford Shearing (Griffith Institute of Criminology; University of Cape Town; University of Montreal, School of Criminology; University of New South Wales) has posted Citizens and Denizens (3(1) The International Journal of Restorative Justice 57-62) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
The question that this article considers is the question of citizenship and, in particular, ‘citizenship that is responsible and innovative’. Citizenship has not, for the most part, been an explicit focus of attention across John’s corpus. Yet, as my colleague Cameron Holley has reminded me, citizenship, and the issues surrounding it, have constituted a central and integrative weft across John’s thinking – a golden thread. This is hardly surprising given John’s long-established commitment to republican thinking about freedom as non-domination and given that this thinking has brought ‘to the fore a new focus on citizenship’ (Honohan, 2017: 83). In what follows I explore how John weaves this somewhat subterranean thread, together with other threads that characterize his work to create a rich tapestry of thought.
