Radical Criminology, edited by Jeff Shantz [Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Vancouver, British Columbia], is dedicated to bridging the gap between the academy and the global activist community, especially with regard to state violence, state-corporate crime, the growth of surveillance regimes, and the prison-industrial complex. More pointedly, the journal aims to be not simply a project of critique, but is also geared toward a praxis of struggle, insurgence, and practical resistance. Issue 5 (Autumn 2015) is a special issue on "Public Criminology II" guest-edited by Carrie Sanders and Lauren Eisler.TABLE OF CONTENTS: EDITORIAL / Jeff Shantz, "Time for Criminology: The Established is not Enough" -- FEATURED ARTICLES: PUBLIC CRIMINOLOGY II / Carrie B.

The Critical Criminology Working Group is an association of activist scholars in (or around) the Criminology Department at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, BC (on unceded Coast Salish Territories). Working Group members bring an engaged critical perspective to bear on institutions and practices of criminal justice, situating the state as a central institution in the maintenance and extension of capitalist relations of exploitation and oppression. Criminal justice systems in liberal democracies fundamentally uphold gross injustice in society. Working Group members offer anti-statist and anti-capitalist analyses of criminal justice (and criminology) and seek alternative social practices beyond, and in opposition to, states and capital.
