How does one manage everyday security in fragile, strategically significant, post-conflict cities ? The author looks at security in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia and one of the most notoriously insecure cities in the world. Based on an analysis of the city's neighbourhood watch schemes set up in some districts of Mogadishu, this paper provides a detailed view of how the city's inhabitants try to manage street-level security threats. She considers the roles and perceptions of local actors, from the police and politicians to ordinary inhabitants, vis-a-vis those of international actors. Her analysis takes into consideration the attempts by international sponsors to influence the city's security architecture and policing practices, and how these interact with local efforts, needs and expectations of local security. While the everyday security concerns of local inhabitants and broader concerns about terrorist violence may seem separate, this paper shows the interface between counterterrorism and community safety, community cohesion and civilian policing, as they form part of a coherent whole based on the need for physical security.

Pursuing Trayvon Martin explores the historical implications of the fatal shooting of the unarmed black teen, Trayvon Martin, by George Zimmerman, in a gated community in Sanford, Florida on February 26, 2012. Possibly the first book to explore the case, it will make an important contribution as a source providing important analyses from which later scholars might draw and which will provide a context for understanding many of the issues involved in this case.

Buurtinformatienetwerken (BIN's) zijn partnerschappen waarin de politie, buurtbewoners en gemeenten hun krachten bundelen in de strijd tegen criminaliteit. Deze worden vaak opgericht in een buurt omwille van hogere politiecijfers voor diefstallen uit voertuigen, woninginbraak en/of vandalisme. Met deze studie wordt nagegaan of buurtinformatienetwerken (BIN's) de sociale cohesie en het veiligheidsgevoel in een buurt verhogen. Dit was in België het eerste grootschalig experiment. In tegenstelling tot eerdere buitenlandse studies, werden ook andere aspecten dan criminaliteit onderzocht, namelijk onveiligheidsgevoelens, collectieve weerbaarheid, relaties tussen buurtbewoners en politie, en informatiedoorstroming tussen buurtbewoners en politie. Deze studie is een benchmark. Professor Hardyns licht toe: "We hebben voor het eerst een aantal belangrijke verschillen kunnen vaststellen tussen buurten met en zonder BIN". De studie stelt ook informele buurt(preventie)netwerken vast in de vorm van informele platformen (zoals Facebookgroepen, WhatsApp en Hoplr). Die zorgen voor opportuniteiten maar ook uitdagingen voor de traditionele BIN. De studie stond onder leiding van professor Wim Hardyns van de faculteit Recht en Criminologie van de Universiteit Gent en werd uitgevoerd in opdracht van de Algemene Directie Veiligheid & Preventie van de FOD Binnenlandse Zaken.
