28 Critical Criminology 1 (2020)

handle is hein.journals/ctlcrm28 and id is 1 raw text is: Critical Criminology (2020) 28:1-3 https://doi.org/1 0.1007/s10612-020-09497-2 Editor's Introduction to Volume 28 Avi Brisman'23 Published online: 14 March 2020 © Springer Nature B.V. 2020 At the 75th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Criminology (ASC), held this past November in San Francisco, I had the pleasure and privilege of participating in one of ASC's professional development sessions, entitled Students Meet Scholars: Meet the Editors, organized by Dr. Kaitlyn J. Selman, a rising star in critical criminology and one of the more creative thinkers in the areas of critical carceral studies and youth justice. The session included the current or incoming editors of three of several of the top journals in criminology. Early in the session, Dr. Selman asked each of the editors the following ques- tion: What are you looking for in terms of submissions? I volunteered to go first. I wish I had not. In response to Dr. Selman's question, I paraphrased my introduction to Volume 27, Issue 1, of this journal (Brisman 2019) and offered (something along the lines of) the fol- lowing response: Critical criminology is a theoretical perspective that challenges legalistic definitions of crime, attempting to expose how law and punishment can produce, reproduce and perpetuate systems of social inequality. Committed to a critique of domina- tion, critical criminology seeks to confront homophobia, neocolonialism, racism, sexism, working class oppression and xenophobia. As such, Critical Criminology: An International Journal is interested in receiving submissions in furtherance of these goals-especially from researchers, scholars and students from outside the United States, Europe and the Global North. Thus, prospective authors should feel emboldened to send me work that exposes, examines and analyzes any form of social harm-or analogous social injury, to quote the great Raymond J. Michalowski (1985). My response elicited some bland expressions, so I added: E Avi Brisman avi.brisman @eku.edu; avi.brisman@newcastle.edu.au School of Justice Studies, College of Justice and Safety, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY, USA 2 School of Justice, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia 3 Newcastle Law School, Faculty of Business and Law, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, Australia Springer
