55 How. J. Crime & Just. 1 (2016)

handle is hein.journals/hjcj55 and id is 1 raw text is: The HowardJournal Vol 55 No 1-2. May 2016 DOI: 10.1111/hojo.12166 ISSN 2059-1098, pp. 1-3 Editorial Introduction: A New Chapter IAN LOADER Professor of Criminology, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford The Howard Journal has a long and distinguished history. It first appeared in 1921 and has been published annually since 1951. This double issue marks its 55th volume. Throughout that time the journal has been associ- ated with, while maintaining full editorial independence from, the Howard League for Penal Reform. That remains the case today. The journal has long been an established part of criminological research and penal policy debate in the UK. Indeed, for many years it was one of only two outlets for publishing criminological work - the other being the British journal of Criminology. Since the late 1990s, these two journals have been joined by many others - spurred by the growing public and political salience of crime and the rapid expansion and internationalisation of criminology. The academic journal market in criminology has become increasingly specialist with titles devoted to particular intellectual orientations, or methodologies, or subfields in the study of crime and justice. Our hope is that the Howard journal can become an important and distinctive voice within what has become a fragmented, pluralised criminological field. This double issue marks the formal relaunch of journal - though the term 'relaunch' is best understood in terms of a process rather than as an event. It is the first issue of my term as the journal's new Editor-in-Chief. The journal has a new name - The Howard Journal of Crime and justice - which is intended to signal its broader remit and ambitions. Vanessa Barker, a sociologist of punishment working at Stockholm University, has joined the journal as one of its four editors, along with Penny Green (Queen Mary University of London), Simon Mackenzie (Victoria University of Wellington), and David Scott (Liverpool John Moores University). The journal has a new International Editorial Board composed of members with a broad range of theoretical orientations, substantive interests and methodological approaches, working in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, France, India, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the USA, as well as in the UK. This is intended to be a working Board collectively involved in the running and direction of the journal. 1 © 2016 The Howard League and john Wiley & Sons Ltd Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ UK
