TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Carjacking and copresence JO - Journal of research in crime and delinquency A1 - Jacobs, Bruce A. SP - 471 EP - 488 VL - 49 IS - 4 N2 - Drawing from in-depth qualitative interviews, this research note explores how carjacking offenders establish copresence with victims. Two tactics are explored: normalcy illusions and blitzes. The paper links these tactics conceptually to the delivery of coercive actions.

DISCUSSION focuses on the offenders' manipulation of celerity and publicity in the approach process and its implications for compliance generation in an alternative coercive climate.

KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency
