The Hoods
A distinctive feature of the conflict in Northern Ireland over the past forty years has been the way Catholic and Protestant paramilitaries have policed their own communities. This has mainly involved the violent punishment of petty criminals involved in joyriding and other types of antisocial behavior. Between 1973 and 2007, more than 5,000 nonmilitary shootings and assaults were attributed to paramilitaries punishing their own people. But despite the risk of severe punishment, young petty offenders--known locally as \"hoods\"--continue to offend, creating a puzzle for the rational theory of criminal deterrence. Why do hoods behave in ways that invite violent punishment?
InThe Hoods, Heather Hamill explains why this informal system of policing and punishment developed and endured and why such harsh punishments as beatings, \"kneecappings,\" and exile have not stopped hoods from offending. Drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with perpetrators and victims of this violence, the book argues that the hoods' risky offending may amount to a game in which hoods gain prestige by displaying hard-to-fake signals of toughness to each other. Violent physical punishment feeds into this signaling game, increasing the hoods' status by proving that they have committed serious offenses and can \"manfully\" take punishment yet remained undeterred. A rare combination of frontline research and pioneering ideas,The Hoodshas important implications for our fundamental understanding of crime and punishment.

The Orange Arch: Creating Tradition in Ulster
Maintaining tradition is an important aspect of Protestant popular culture in Northern Ireland. However, in recent years, emphasis has been placed on the apparently unchanging nature of such practices rather than on the dynamic and contingent nature of their form and content. This article focuses on one of the lesser-known cultural traditions, that of erecting arches as part of the celebrations of the marching season. It traces the history of arch style and design from the early nineteenth century to the present, and situates the changes and developments within the broader political and cultural sphere.
Journal Article
South Leinster
This chapter centres on the activities of groups preoccupied with, apparently, traditional agrarian concerns in south Leinster. The origins of the white terror in County Wexford can be traced to the expansion of the Orange Order into south Leinster in early 1798. This growth was part of a wider counter-insurgency campaign on the part of conservative elements within the Irish government. Centred on the unofficial cabinet of Cooke, Fitzgibbon, Beresford and Foster, these ultras endeavoured to create a counterweight to the United Irishmen who, starting in north Wexford in early 1797, had been spreading throughout south Leinster with increasing rapidity. The driving force behind this policy was the Under Secretary Edward Cooke, who organized pro-government factions from within the loyalist gentry and magistracy of the affected counties.
