Letter from the editor
July 27, 2014
I would like to welcome everyone to the
newest edition of the journal.
As you can see some minor cosmetic changes have been
introduced for this edition and will be continued in subsequent
editions. Please
feel free to let us know what you think of the new presentation.
In this edition of the journal, we will be
featuring Steve Hall’s text,
Theorizing Deviance: A New Perspective published by sage.
Commentaries of that text will be provided by Dragan
Milovanovic and Simon Winslow.
In the coming months, we will be publishing
a special edition of the journal on September 1st,
which will be focused on Peacemaking Criminology.
The guest editor for that edition is Michael Braswell who
has been a very good friend to the journal.
The January edition of the journal will feature two
interesting cross sections of criminology: Bio-Crim and what has
been coined by Dragan Milovanovic as quantum holographic
criminology.
The first section of the January edition
will be a commentary and response format related to the article,
Ptolemizing Lombroso The Psycho-revolution of Bio-Criminology by
Nicolas Carrier and Kevin Walby, which appeared in the January
2014 edition of jtpcrim.
Commentary of that article will be provided by Anthony
Walsh and John Wright and by Ben Heylen.
The authors of the Ptolemizing Lombroso article will
provide a response to these two commentaries.
Given the response to the article from certain quarters
within criminology, we decided to continue this conversation in
the January edition of the journal.
The second section of this edition will
feature Dragan Milovanovic’s new text,
Quantum Holographic
Criminology: Paradigm Shift in Criminology, Law and
Transformative Justice, published by Carolina Academic Press.
Commentaries on that text will be provided by Bruce Arrigo and
Raymond Bradley. Milovanovic’s
text challenges the very foundations of criminology and its
outdated romance with the Newtonian world and provides a
paradigm shift for a 21st century criminology.
Once again I would like to thank all of
those who continue to read and submit to our journal. We are
glad for your continued support and excited about the future of
the journal.
Sincerely,
David Polizzi, editor
Indiana State University |
