Welcome  to the first issue of 2017! As ever we would like to take this opportunity to
thank all of you who help out with the journal, by submitting and reviewing papers for
us and by encouraging contributions from your colleagues. We would like to single out
for special thanks Dr Marion Vannier who, for two years, has been the editorial assistant,
untangling issues on Manuscript  Central and working  efficiently in distributing the
papers for review. In her place, we would also like to extend a warm welcome to Marina
Bell, who has taken over from Marion, and we look forward to working with her. We
wish Marion well in the next stages of her academic career.
   As those of you who read the journal online will have noticed, along with the rest of
SAGE  journals, Theoretical Criminology has a new web site. We welcome your thoughts
and comments  on it and any ideas you may have for how we can develop it.
   As the politics and practice of crime control and criminal justice the world over is
touched by the instability of the era in which we live, the role of academics in promoting
critical and tolerant debate is ever more urgent. Theoretical Criminology has always been
a site for such debates. The best articles address not only intellectual matters, but also
matters of wider relevance and reach. We invite our readers to submit papers to us that
speak to the current challenges facing the world, with particular attention to the rise of
the new Right, racism, and the impact and nature of mass migration.
   It may be that the website can be developed to allow greater open access to some
articles. We also run a regular Editor's choice selection on which papers are free to
download.  Where  possible, SAGE encourages authors also to publicize their papers on
mainstream press and blogs. When that happens, arrangements can sometimes be made
to allow a wider distribution of the paper.
   Not all academic  research is aimed at the public. And Theoretical Criminology
remains committed to all scholarly research of the highest caliber. However, as so-called
'post-Truth' politics becomes ever more entrenched, a clear burden falls on those of us
who work  in the academy to share our findings and ideas. Please contact us with thoughts
you have on how the journal can support this kind of work.
                                                                  Mary  and Simon
