Rosie Campbell Not Getting Away with It ABSTRACT Author: Rosie Campbell Not Getting Away With It: addressing violence against sex workers as hate crime in Merseyside Adopting a participatory approach, this thesis examines Merseyside Police’s treatment of violent and other crimes against sex workers as hate crime - through the lens of what is referred to as the ‘Merseyside hate crime approach’ The first academic study to do so, it describes the development of the approach and explores the key elements which constitute it. It proposes the approach is a banner encompassing a range of policing and partnership initiatives - not just the inclusion of sex workers in the force’s hate crime policy, but including, critically, a wider shift from enforcement to protection-focused policing and improved support for sex worker victims of crime. Based on analysis of data from interviews with 22 sex workers and 39 police officers, it reports support for the approach and the notion that sex workers can be victims of hate crime. It argues that sex workers’ experiences of victimisation fit a number of definitions of hate crime, straddling those foregrounding prejudice and those foregrounding the targeting of ‘perceived vulnerability’. As such they can be included as a hate crime group and there are tangible benefits for inclusion. However, the thesis asserts there is some way to go in fully integrating sex workers into hate crime procedures in Merseyside. It supports the further development of an inclusive model for understanding hate crime which includes non- established hate crime groups and recognises intersectionality. It argues that the hate crime approach to sex work is progressive - within the UK framework of the quasi-criminalisation of sex work, it offers a rights-based approach to addressing violence against sex workers. Nonetheless, it cautions the approach should not be seen as an end it itself in the regulation of sex work, with international research evidence pointing to decriminalisation as a more conducive framework to address crimes against sex workers. 1 Not Getting Away With It: addressing violence against sex workers as hate crime in Merseyside Author: Rosie Campbell A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Social Sciences Durham University June 2016 2 Table of Contents ABSTRACT 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 8 CHAPTERS Chapter One: Introducing the research – the importance of conceptualising violence against sex workers as hate crime 11 Main objective 11 Background: why this research? 11 Research questions and aims of the research 21 Researching sex work and hate crime in Merseyside 22 Structure of the thesis 24 Chapter Two: Literature review – sex work, violence, policing and hate crime 30 Introduction 30 Levels and nature of violence against sex workers 32 Criminalisation, regulation and policing of sex work in the UK: contributing to violence 43 ‘Othering’, stigma and the discourse of disposability 62 Feminist theory and violence against sex workers: diverse lived realities 69 Hate crime: definitions, inclusivity and intersectionality 76 Chapter Three: Research methodology 88 Introduction 88 Guiding principles: feminist research methodology and Participatory Action Research (PAR) 89 A method for understanding experiences of hate crime and policy: in-depth interviewing 96 Accessing my research sites: building on established relationships and collaboration 101 Defining my research sample 104 Socio-demographic summary of the research sample 108 Ethical issues in sex worker research: my experiences 111 3 Analysing experiences of hate crime and policy: a grounded theory approach 117 A brief reflexive account: being researcher/outreach worker/policy influencer 121 Conclusion: negotiating the boundaries between research, outreach, policy development and change? 125 Chapter Four: Contextualising the Merseyside hate crime approach – key periods and strands 127 Introduction 127 Hardship, heroin, HIV and the rise of ‘harm reduction’: 1980-1995 128 Community action, community safety, regeneration and research: 1995-2003 131 Crucial debates around safety - murder and ‘managed areas’: 2003-2005 143 Naming it as hate crime - the public protection of sex workers: 2005-2011 146 Key strands of the hate crime approach 159 Conclusions 169 Chapter Five: The changing relationship between sex workers and the police – from ‘enforcement’ to ‘public protection’ 171 Introduction 171 Context: the bad old days of enforcement – cycle of arrest; dispersal; and responding to residential complaints in the 1980s and 1990s 173 An uneasy relationship: police stigmatisation and ‘othering’ of sex workers in the 1980s and 1990s – knowing the ‘rules of the game’ 177 Dealing with and reporting crimes against sex workers in the 1980s and 1990s 185 Current police attitudes concerning sex workers: towards ‘public protection’ and change 188 Conclusions 205 4 Chapter Six: Treating crimes against sex workers as hate crime – police perspectives 208 Introduction 208 Police officer awareness of the hate crime policy 208 Majority support for the policy: viewing sex workers as victims of hate crime 210 Officer perceptions of sex workers as a hate crime group: fitting the definitions – vulnerability and visibility 211 Hate crime and off-street sex work 223 Practical benefits: improved response and prioritisation 225 Police ambivalence and critical perspectives 229 Treating crimes against sex workers as hate crime: full inclusion and sustainability 234 Conclusions 240 Chapter Seven: Treating crimes against sex workers as hate crime – sex worker perspectives 243 Introduction 243 Current and former sex workers’ awareness and understanding of hate crime 244 Awareness of the sex work and hate crime policy 247 Sex worker support for the hate crime policy 249 Personal experiences and understanding of hate crime: hostility, targeting and vulnerability 256 Sex work misogyny and gender-based hate crime 267 Sex worker hate crime and intersectionality 269 Conclusions: It’s hate crime!

But as yet, no definitive explanation has been produced. In the UK context, a rise and fall in illicit drug use has not been especially prominent in this debate, perhaps due to a lack of robust data for the whole period.

  • Huyton Closure GENH2058IAFEB21H
    Understanding your branch closure Santander, 57 Derby Road, Huyton L36 9YA This branch will be closing at 4pm on 8 July 2021. We’d like to explain why, and help you understand how you can continue banking with us. Background to our approach Our customers are continuing to change the way they manage their money. As well as using our branches, many more of our customers find it convenient to do their day-to-day banking using Online, Mobile or Telephone Banking. As a result, customers are visiting our branches much less. This change has been happening over a number of years now and has accelerated in recent times. Due to these changes, we have carefully and thoroughly reviewed the way we develop our services for customers and considered many factors, including where each of our branches are located and how they are used. We know our branch network remains very important to our customers. Whilst we have made the difficult decision to close some branches, we have only done so where we know there are other facilities our customers can use and where we have another Santander branch within a few miles. As part of this review, we have assessed each branch individually to consider the potential impact for our customers, colleagues and the alternative options available to bank locally. We hope this leaflet helps to provide more information about our decision to close Huyton branch, the alternative ways to continue to bank with Santander and other local banking services available. Adam Bishop, Head of Branch Interactions Branch assessment Before reaching the decision to close Huyton branch, a full review of the branch was undertaken, including: ¡ The way our Huyton branch customers are choosing ¡ The availability of alternative ways to bank with to bank with us.

  • “You'll Never Kill Our Will to Be Free”: Damien Dempsey's “Colony” As A
    “You’ll Never Kill Our Will To Be Free”: Damien Dempsey’s “Colony” as a Critique of Historical and Contemporary Colonialism MARTIN J. POWER, AILEEN DILLANE, and EOIN DEVEREUX Abstract: This article, through a musical, lyrical, and contextual analysis of the Irish recording artist Damien Dempsey’s song “Colony,” probes contemporary discourses concerning colonialism and postcolonialism. In presenting Dempsey’s work through this lens, we seek to interrogate how one singer employs protest song as a vehicle for social critique in a nuanced fashion. Our reading reveals different levels of meaning, in part dependent on contextual knowledge. Furthermore, the simple structure belies the complexity of the issues involved in any discussion of postcoloniality in Ireland and beyond, and because of this the song is rendered all the more potent and persuasive. Résumé : Cet article, à travers une analyse de l’enregistrement de la musique, des paroles et du contexte de 44 (2): 29-52. 44 (2): la chanson « Colony » de l’artiste irlandais Damien Dempsey, sonde les discours contemporains au sujet du colonialisme et du postcolonialisme. En présentant les travaux de Dempsey sous ce prisme, nous cherchons à interroger la façon subtile par laquelle le chanteur utilise la chanson engagée comme un véhicule de critique MUSICultures sociale. Notre lecture révèle différents niveaux de sens, dépendant en partie d’une connaissance contextuelle. En outre, la structure simple dément la complexité des questions qui reviennent dans toutes les discussions au sujet du postcolonialisme en Irlande et au-delà, et cette chanson en est, pour cette raison, d’autant plus puissante et convaincante.
