Abstract
Editor’s Note: In July 2006, Current Issues in Criminal Justice (volume 18 number 1) published an article entitled ‘Moral Indignation, Criminality and the Rioting Crowd inMacquarie Fields’ by John Owen. The following article is, for the most part, a reply to many of the positions raised contemporaneously and since then, including those of Murray Lee in ‘The Blame Game: Struggles over the Representation of the“Macquarie Fields Riots”’,Outrageous! Moral Panics in Australia (Poynting & Morgan eds); Don Weatherburn in ‘Riots, Policing and Social Disadvantage’,Current Issues in Criminal Justice volume 18 number 1; and Rob White in‘Swarming and the Social Dynamics of Group Violence’, Trends & Issues in Criminal Justice no 326 (AIC). It is a defence of the indignation /moral economy approach developed in Owen’s 2006 article.
