Abstract
This paper considers the continuing evolution in England and Wales of the Alinsky tradition of broad-based community organizing, a process that seeks to build permanent and powerful alliances of local civil society institutions. The paper introduces some of the tenets of the Alinsky model of broad-based organizing and how this has been adapted to the UK context. Drawing on a leading charity that has pioneered this work, Citizens UK, the paper identifies five distinctive enablers of power and ownership found in community organizing: leadership, relationships, money, democratic behaviours, and actions. Taken together, broad-based community organizing offers an interesting alternative proposition for building community power and is a model that requires further academic, policy, and practitioner attention in the field of community development.

AbstractGrowing media, political and public concern with high‐risk offenders in the community has focused policy attention on the concept of 'public protection'. A notion that the public has the right to be protected, particularly from 'monstrous' offenders such as predatory paedophiles, has infiltrated much recent legislation and penal policy. This article will explore the critical factors in the 'public protection' trend and the framing of risk and risky offenders that has ensued. In particular, attention will be given to the new surveillance and intervention mechanisms under the Multi‐Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and whether these arrangements manage risk or displace it. To what extent are they driven by the 'precautionary principle' and defensive responses to risks that are over‐inflated? To what extent does this result in 'perverse incentives' to over‐manage certain risks and to over‐concentrate on restrictive risk management techniques such as electronic tagging, satellite surveillance and curfews rather than treatment? Does the system represent effective risk management or a system for dealing with risk anxiety – both of the public(s) and of politicians?
