By drawing on data gathered with practitioners and young people associated with a homeless charity in London, the article argues that in convergence with existing theory, the agency that young people exhibit is ambiguous, blurring the boundaries of what children should and should not do. Agency is also tactical; the thoughts and actions taken by young people have a purpose, linked to profit generation, social inclusion and protection. In addition, young people's ability to act and make decisions is embedded within wider notions of hyper-consumerism, hyper-realities and lives lived online. To explore this further, the article proposes the notion of ‘hyper-agency’.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 8/8/2024 News Contextualizing and defining de-escalation in policing In light of increasing concerns about use of force, one of the most prominent recommendations for improving policing is ‘de-escalation’. However, despite the hype surrounding de-escalation, a clear definition still is lacking. At the same time, debates about de-escalation have not been grounded in, or informed by, police practice. The lack of a solid definition is problematic in practice, as police struggle with potentially conflicting considerations. This study utilizes interviews with use of force experts and a survey of frontline officers to produce a better understanding of de-escalation. The results highlight the importance of nuance in police-public interactions, which are highly variable. In particular, de-escalation cannot be conceptualized as a one-size-fits-all solution capable of solving all elevated police-citizen interactions. A practical definition of de-escalation must also acknowledge that force may sometimes be required. The perspective that use of force is incompatible with de-escalation does not reflect the realities of policing.
