Welcome!

The American Society of Criminology (ASC) Division on Critical Criminology and the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) Section on Critical Criminal Justice:
  • Foster research and theory development in the field of critical criminology, which is widely recognized as one of the major paradigms in criminology.
  • Provide a forum for members of the ASC and ACJS to discuss ideas and to exchange information, both through events at the annual meetings and through a Divisional newsletter.
  • Organize conference sessions at ASC and ACJS meetings.
  • Encourage appropriate and effective teaching techniques and practices and stimulate the development of curricula related to courses on critical criminology.

The critcrim.org site is intended to link scholars with interests in critical criminology. This site also serves a key function in our efforts to build and support an online community of critical criminologists. This site is an example of the "read-write" internet many believe will change the way information is created and accessed. Registered users have many rights on the site, including the ability to create pages and add content in several formats. There are many ways to contribute, so please feel free to join us in building this site. Site users are encouraged to post announcement regarding jobs, calls for papers, or other topics of interest to the Division and Section.

Site update

Submitted by Mentor on Mon, 2009-06-08 21:00

The web hosting service formerly used for critcrim.org was recently sold to a larger company. Problems began immediately. For a brief period this site was unavailable. Moving to another server has provided an opportunity to update the site. Some features have changed and others will be added as the upgrade process continues. As always, please post announcements of interest to the critcrim community.
