Volume 27 of Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance discusses a
variety of issues of significance to equity, inclusion, and
diversity in criminology and criminal justice studies. The research
area of crime, criminal justice, and social control has typically
devoted attention to diversity in its subject matter much more than
in the profession and scholarship itself. By and large, the
disparities in the criminal justice system are much better known
than the inequities that exist in criminology and among scholars of
criminal justice. The authors in this volume demonstrate the
theoretical and methodological maturity and diversity in reflexive
accounts of criminology and criminal justice in a number of areas,
such as and teaching and research in criminology, queer
criminology, the intersections of race and gender, indigeneity and
decolonization, domestic violence, human rights, mass
incarceration, LBGTQI+ rights, and ableism. Presenting a
state-of-the-art overview of diversity in criminological and
criminal justice methodologies, this volume should be of interest
to a wide range of scholars and students in the fields of
criminology, sociology, law, justice policy, and criminal justice.
In Media and Law: Between Free Speech and Censorship, Mathieu
Deflem and Derek M.D Silva have gathered an interdisciplinary team
of leading experts to make a valuable contribution to the existing
literature. This volume explores free speech and the control
thereof from both a political as well as cultural lens. These
topics have once again moved center stage in scholarly as well as
popular discussions on what must, should, and should not be said in
the public sphere of ideas, opinions, and tastes. In a world of
alternative facts, fake news, gender politics, company
self-censorship, edited art, hate speech, and career-ending tweets,
the chapters in this volume make a timely contribution.
The eleven chapters in this volume of Sociology of Crime, Law and
Deviance discuss a variety of issues of methodological significance
in research in the fields of criminology and criminal justice
studies. As scholarly work on various aspects of crime, deviance,
criminal justice, and social control has progressed tremendously in
recent decades, both in terms of scope as well as with respect to
theoretical approaches, the employed methods of investigation have
also broadened and advanced to be as sophisticated as those used in
any other area of contemporary social-science inquiry. The authors
in this volume demonstrate the methodological maturity and
diversity of current empirical research in criminology and criminal
justice in a number of areas, such as general trends of crime,
criminal networks, violence against women, sex work, elder
financial exploitation, school safety, immigrant detention,
extremism on the internet, and human trafficking. Presenting a
state-of-the-art overview of criminological and criminal justice
methodologies today, this book is of interest to a wide range of
scholars and students in the fields of criminology, sociology,
justice policy, and criminal justice.
The field of radicalization studies, which intersects within the
fields of sociology, law, criminology, and criminal justice,
focuses particularly on the social dynamics of terrorism from
different theoretical, conceptual, and methodological perspectives.
It is a fast-growing field in which many areas remain to be
explored. In Radicalization and Counter-Radicalization, Derek Silva
and Mathieu Deflem have gathered an interdisciplinary team of
leading experts to make a valuable contribution to the existing
literature. This book covers themes such as the notion of risk,
security, and surveillance, crime and deviance, gender, political
propaganda, media, and cultural representations of radicalization.
The volume is divided into theoretical and epistemological
interventions aimed at understanding radicalization and
counter-radicalization, the historical origins of radicalization,
how scholars within the social sciences measure processes and
pathways toward radicalization, the policing of, and law
enforcement strategies aimed at, combatting radicalization, policy
developments in the field of counter-radicalization, and
discussions related to the future of radicalization studies within
sociology, legal studies, and criminal justice. For its breadth and
depth of research, this volume of Sociology of Crime, Law and
Deviance is essential reading for researchers and students of, law,
criminology, and criminal justice.
