Substantively, this edition of the newsletter follows up on an article in the previous issue by Bruce Arrigo on publishing critical criminology in mainstream journals. Bruce had inspired an interesting discussion on the division’s listserve that is excerpted here so it can be more widely shared. We have shared listserve exchanges a few times here because of the thoughtful and engaged exchanges.

This edition also pursues international issues. In this spirit, Gregg Barak (winner of 1999’s Critical Criminologist of the Year) summarizes some of the work related to book on global crime he was editing (manuscript is in production). In addition, Noriyoshi Takemura reported on the absence of critical criminology in Japan and some of the reasons for it not being well developed.
