Edward Page, Associate Professor of Political Theory, University of Warwick ABSTRACTClimate change, by damaging the quality of life of populations already suffering from acute vulnerability and hardshi the adoption of measures of mitigation and adaptation and a ‘second-order injustice’ if the associated losses and damages arise as of these measures. Both forms of injustice involve ‘losses and damages’ arising that would not have occurred but for climate change but raise distinct normative problems given their diverging origins. This research seminar explores some key normative puzzles raised by the new ethics and politics of ‘loss and damage’ as it relates to both first-order and second-order climate change injustice. In particular, the lecture focuses on which normative principles should guide measures seeking to address first-order and second-order climate change injustices experienced by states and how (if at all) new forms of policy can be designed that respect these principles.

European Journal of Criminology Abstract Building and expanding on contemporary research where desistance is increasingly conceived of asa fragile and liminal experience, this paper examines the early dof ambivalence – an undertheorised concept in life course criminology. This paper employs qualitativeinterviews from a total of 10 participants who participated in SIG, a voluntary defector programmein Sweden. Despite having formulated a clear resolve to desist, the participantsnonetheless experienced feelings of ambivalence in relation to the desistance process. In theseinstances, the aspiring desisters were bordering between the prospects of a better, crime-freelife and the pains, losses, struggles and frustrations accompanying the early stages of desistance.It is argued that this liminal position, where the old life is to be discarded and a new, better lifeis yet to be built, may constitute a breeding ground for ambivalence – a state which needs tobe grounded in the precarious social position of marginalised youth which aspiring desisters typicallyoccupy.
