handle is hein.journals/thcr18 and id is 1 raw text is: Theoretical Criminology 2014, Vol. 18(1) 3-4 Editorial @The Author(s) 2014 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.ul/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1362480613519555 tcr.sagepub.corn OSAGE It is our pleasure to announce that the 2013 Theoretical Criminology Best Article Prize has been awarded to Vanessa Barker of the University Stockholm for her article 'Nordic Exceptionalism revisited: Explaining the paradox of a Janus-faced penal regime'. Each year the Theoretical Criminology Associate Editors are asked to select the best article from the previous year's content, paying particular attention to those which advance critical inquiry in the field of theoretical criminology. Qualities sought included clarity of writing, breadth of ambition and original inquiry. In the selection process this year, the Editors expressed enthusiasm for a number of excellent articles that appeared in Theoretical Criminology over the past year. They selected this article over a number of others because it made a compelling argument regarding the extent to which the 'Nordic Exceptionalism' thesis has been overstated. Editors described the article as 'a closely observed and intelligently theorized corrective to the Nordic Exceptionalism thesis', noting that, 'it eloquently challenges the domi- nance of the Nordic Exceptionalism thesis, but with particular attention given to the ways in which the welfare state both propels and reproduces the penal order. By isolating the contemporary political context-and thus going beyond the usual focus on penal outcomes-the author presents an alternative account of social control which highlights legal rights and processes of social classification and exclusion'. On behalf of the Associate Editors, we congratulate Vanessa for her achievement. In recognition of this prize, she will receive £100 worth of SAGE books of her choice. The article will be made available as a free download on the Theoretical Criminology website. We would also like to take this occasion to congratulate Review Editor, Michelle Brown of the University of Tennessee, and Associate Editor (and former Review Editor) Eamonn Carrabine, of the University of Essex, who have been named Co-Editors of the journal Crime, Media, Culture. Michelle will be stepping down as Review Editor early in 2014, and she will become an International Advisory Editor for Theoretical Criminology. We are delighted to announce that Leslie Paik, of the Department of Sociology, City College, City University of New York, has agreed to replace Michelle and join Bethan Loftus of the University of Manchester, as Review Editor of Theoretical Criminology. Other changes are also afoot. We thank David Nelken and Pat O'Malley for their many years of service to the journal, a number of which they spent as an Associate Editor. David will remain an International Advisory Editor. We are also grateful to
