Overview

This book is about people who are marginalised in criminology; it is an attempt to make space and amplify voices that are too often overlooked, spoken about, or for. In recognising the deep-seated structural inequalities that exist within criminal justice, higher education, and the field of criminology, we offer this text as a critical pause to the reader and invite you to reflect and consider within your studies and learning experience, your teaching, and your research: whose voices dominate, and whose are marginalised or excluded within criminology and why? This edited collection offers chapters from international criminology scholars, activists, and practitioners to bring together a range of perspectives that have been marginalised or excluded from criminological discourse. It considers both obscured and marginalised criminological theorists and schools of thought, presents alternative viewpoints on ‘traditional’ criminal justice themes, and considers how marginalisation is perpetuated through criminological research and criminological teaching. Engaging with debates on power, colonialism, identity, hegemony and privilege, and bringing together perspectives on gender, race and ethnicity, indigenous knowledge (s), queer and LGBTQ+ issues, disabilities, and class, this concise collection brings together key thinkers and ideas around concerns about epistemological supremacy. Marginalised Voices in Criminology is crucial reading for courses on criminological theory and concerns, diversity, gender, race, and identity.

Author Information

Kelly J. Stockdale is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Northumbria University. Her main research relates to criminal justice, restorative justice, and people’s lived experiences when in contact with criminal justice agencies. She also researches the criminology curriculum focusing on whose voices are marginalised and whose are prioritised in criminology, why it matters, and what we can do about it. Michelle Addison is an Associate Professor at Durham University. Her research is concerned with a key long-term vision of social justice for those facing the greatest social and health disadvantages in society. She is interested in stigma as social harm arising out of and linked to criminalisation, marginalisation and minoritisation, and how this reproduces multiple complex axes of inequality and oppression.
