Biography

Dr Julie Berg is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the School of Social and Political Sciences, and the Director of the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research (SCCJR), at the University of Glasgow. She joined the University of Glasgow in January 2018, having previously held a full-time research and teaching appointment at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She is a senior research fellow in the Global Risk Governance Programme at the University of Cape Town.

Julie co-leads a global multi-disciplinary team of scholars, the Small Islands Security Governance Research Group, which aims to build networks, engage in dialogue and conduct research intended to advance how security governance in small islands is conceptualised, understood, and approached.

The objectives of the group are to:

Advance understandings of island jurisdictions as spaces with historical and cultural complexities compounded by interfaces with colonialism and other externalities;
Contextualise crime, violence, harm, and victimhood in Small Island Developing States;
Conduct research on various aspects of security governance in small islands informed by understandings of indigenous ontologies, epistemologies, and mobilisations; and
Improve conceptual and evidence bases to inform sustainable development and security agendas in small islands.

Research interests

My research interests include state and non-state policing, and plural or polycentric security governance. I am principally interested in the nature of plurality in security governance through the mapping out of state and non-state nodes within increasingly pluralized environments and the particular role of the private sector (for instance, private security) in these environments. In light of the emergence of new global harms or harmscapes, I am interested in exploring the impacts of new risk harmscapes on security institutions, collaborative arrangements, and democratic policing. Furthermore, I am interested in the contextual factors that impact on pluralised forms of security governance (for instance, the shifting nature of public space, power relations, and public policing provision); the impacts of new and advanced technologies on collaborative and pluralized policing; as well as the impacts of plural policing on achieving inclusive and equitable security governance in line with a public or common good (with a particular focus on legitimacy, accountability, and democratic security provision). Further to this, I am interested in the impact of new and emerging global harmscapes and associated responses, on the evolution of criminology as a field of inquiry as well as exploring the nature and implications of a decolonised criminology, particularly given the disproportionate impact of new harms (such as climate change) on the Global South/LMICs and the need for innovative responses and an adaptive criminology.

Supervision

I am interested in supervising research projects in the broad areas of policing and security governance, with a particular interest in projects which focus on any of the following themes:

Plural policing, partnership policing, security networks, nodal governance or polycentric security governance
Non-state policing, private security, community safety or non-state organised violence
Everyday security responses to climate harms, climate gating
Police/policing reform, regulation and accountability or democratic policing
