Overview

This book examines key contemporarycriminological issues with the aim of moving beyond scholarship that reproducesinsecurity and exclusion.The edited collection features twotomes, one in English and one in French, reflecting interdisciplinary and criticalcriminological scholarship that advances alternative ways of conceptualizingand responding to criminalized activities and social harms. The breadth of the approaches characterizes much of criticalcriminological scholarship today, despite the growth of managerial andadministrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary andpunitive state policies and practices with respect to 'crime' and 'security.'The book advances cutting-edge theories and methods to make sense of theseissues, and proposes policy responses that promote social inclusion andsecurity.Chapters are the result ofcollaborations by University of Ottawa researchers, along with their current orformer co-researchers working in other disciplines or in other universities to highlightthe array of networks and global reach of the department, and of past orpresent students.This book ispublished in English.-Cet ouvrage, qui aborde les principaux enjeux criminologiquescontemporains, a pour ambition de depasser les recherches conventionnelles quitendent a reproduire les modeles d'insecurite et d'exclusion.Declinee en deux versions, anglaise et francaise, cette publication faitl'inventaire des recherches interdisciplinaires et criminologiques critiquesactuelles qui proposent des solutions novatrices visant, d'une part, a refleterune conceptualisation robuste des enjeux et, d'autre part, a repondreefficacement aux defis poses par les activites criminalisees et les prejudicessociaux qui en resultent.La diversite des methodologies exposees dans cet ouvrage estrepresentative de la plupart des recherches criminologiques critiquesentreprises de nos jours, et ce, en depit du developpement des approchescriminologiques de type administratif ou managerial et de l'essor des politiqueset des pratiques etatiques explicitement punitives et fondees sur l'exclusionface a des comportements juges criminels ou susceptibles de porter atteinte ala securite.

The 2020 edited collection Contemporary Criminological Issues provides its readers with an interesting set of chapters that challenge current critical criminological theoretical perspectives, themes and methods. (...) The lens provided by Pratt and Mofette offers an alternative and more dynamic way to look at the intersection of criminal justice and immigration. -- Maartje van der Woude
