As we  announced  in Volume 16, Number  1, this year, 2012, marked the inauguration of
the annual Theoretical Criminology Best Article Prize. We stated that the winning article
would  be deemed to advance critical inquiry in the field of theoretical criminology. Qual-
ities sought included clarity of writing, breadth of ambition and original inquiry. Particular
weight was to be given to work from emerging scholars. After consultation with the jour-
nal's Associate Editors, we are pleased to announce that the 2012 Theoretical Criminology
Best Article Prize has been awarded to Dr Ana Aliverti, Howard League Fellow in the Cen-
tre for Criminology at the University of Oxford, for her article 'Making people criminal:
The  role of the criminal law in immigration enforcement'. In the selection process, the
Editors expressed enthusiasm for a number of excellent articles that appeared in Theo-
retical Criminology over the past year. The Editors selected this article over a number of
others because it opens up a new area of criminological inquiry into migration control,
skillfully combining theoretical analysis with empirical detail. Aliverti demonstrates the
complexity  of current policies that emphasize familiar punitive rhetoric and practice
towards foreign nationals, while generally opting for easier, less scrutinized administra-
tive remedies to remove them.
   On behalf of the Associate Editors, we congratulate Dr Aliverti for her achievement.
In recognition of this prize, she will receive f100 worth of SAGE books of her choice.
   We  would also like to take this occasion to thank Richard Jones, of the University of
Edinburgh, for his service as UK/Europe Book  Review  Editor and to welcome  to the
journal Bethan Loftus, of the University of Manchester, who will be replacing him. We
also welcome  Sharon Pickering of Monash University, Australia to the group of Associate
Editors, and thank Dario Melossi for his many years of service in this role. Dr Melossi
will continue to serve on Theoretical Criminology's International Advisory Board.
