44 Aust. & N.Z. J. Criminology 3 (2011)

handle is hein.journals/anzjc44 and id is 1 raw text is: c NZSOC Australian & New Zealand journal of Criminology Editorial 44(1) 3 @ The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.ul/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10. 1177/0004865811401301 anj.sagepub.com OSAGE Dr A.A. Bartholomew, the founding editor of the ANZJC offered his inaugural editorship from his desk at HM Prison, Pentridge Melbourne. His editorial implored the Journal to publish articles which take in a broad view of criminology. Notably, the contents of that first issue concerned corporal punishment, the complimentarity or otherwise of welfare and research (written by a doctoral student undertaking research on prisoner's families), a study of probation officers and David Biles' first contribution to the Journal on the use of tests post arrival at Pentridge. Now in its 44th year, and our first issue with SAGE, it is timely that the ANZJC returns to broadly viewed issues of imprisonment. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue have indeed brought together a broad reading of criminology in interrogating the current state of research on prisons and incarceration. Prisons and related closed institutions are arguably the most challenging sites for crimino- logical research. As Mark Israel and Yvonne Jewkes have cogently argued, they offer sites of intense intellectual, policy-making, political and social challenge that criminologists need to both intellectualise as well as emotionally process. Even research on prisons, undertaken at a distance, yield moral challenges and difficulties that can rarely be neatly resolved. Similarly, the landscapes and practices of imprisonment can be difficult to reconcile across place and time and the debate between Professors John Pratt, David Brown and Loic Wacquant begin in this issue with Professor Wacquant scheduled to respond in the next issue. The publication of the ANZJC by SAGE results after a long courtship. This courtship was undertaken in the climate of understanding and respect for the history of the Journal and its service to the criminological and criminal justice communities of Australia and New Zealand. It was also informed by the increasing importance of international col- laborations between scholars and practitioners which so often accelerates the pace of new thinking and policy change. Our arrangement with SAGE, with the ongoing sup- port of our authors, reviewers and readers, will see the Journal move into the hands of so many more criminologists world wide - moving more deeply into Europe and North America as well as making more significant inroads into the libraries and holdings of countries throughout the Global South including South East Asia. The fine articles we are so pleased to publish deserve this extensive audience. I hope the reach of our articles continues to live up to the publication of research and exchange of ideas in the field of criminology envisaged when this Journal was founded and whatever view of criminology is taken today, the next issue of the Journal should always be yet another attempt to further challenge and advance the subject matter of criminology.
