Abstract

Criminology & Penology Social Sciences
Criminology has for some time considered the importance of "flows" in the commission of crime. This article argues that the practices of regulatory agents often fail to consider these flows-flows in information, assets, reputation or technology. Despite considering criminological flows as a discrete field of enquiry, scholars have failed to address what regulatory agents might do or impose on the system of flows to achieve their goals and outcomes. We propose an approach (grounded in the domain of cybernetics and systems studies) which fosters a collaborative and normative approach to bridging the gap when it comes to the criminology of flows, particularly in our increasingly interconnected and digitized future.
