Readers of criminological literature are presented with little more
than thumbnail sketches as to the social characteristics or
motivations of the authors. One learns their status, institutional
location, and supposed credentials. Rarely are we presented with
more detailed impressions of the authors as a combination of
positivist assumptions and notions of professional competence
seemingly render such information unimportant. However, increasing
numbers of critical scholars are becoming aware of authorship as an
issue; it matters who is addressing us. By taking these authors out
of their methodological framework, Critical Voices in Criminology
provides an opportunity for figures in and around critical
criminology to discuss their own intellectual journeys into and
within the discipline. The book offers the opportunity for
contributors to reflect on their work and consider what they did
not say. It also affords them the opportunity to describe their own
'channeling processes' by indicating how the pursuance of some
themes/topics 'seemed' appropriate, sensible, or realistic, while
others appeared less so, whether they internalized these particular
themes, or attempted to contest and/or replace them.
