As technology evolves, we are presented with many options for online publication. Critical Justice, the web-based journal component of critcrim.org, is provided as an example of this technology. This site includes writings provided by members of the ASC Division on Critical Criminology and ACJS Section on Critical Criminology. Over time, content previously posted in a variety of formats will be moved to this format. Although Critical Justice is not intended to be a continuing online journal, this technology provides many benefits and offers a foundation for future site content.

These pages cover a range of topics that are included within critical criminology. Much of this is archived from the original critcrim site and some links may be broken.

• Media

• Critical Perspectives

• Criminology Theory

• Police

• Courts

• Corrections

• Sentencing

• Violence against Women

Several critical criminologists have developed extensive web pages. Links to these pages are found below. These are educational pages that often encourage participation and feedback from all students - regardless of whether they are enrolled in University programs. In the tradition of critical criminology, these pages remain freely available. Please let us know about other effective teaching/learning sites that should be included.

Professor Barak's website includes essays, links, and other information of interest to the critical criminologist.

Dear Habermas

A Journal of Postmodern and Critical Thought Devoted to Academic Discourse on Peace and Justice. Site is in a continual state of creation. Maintained by Jeanne Curran and Susan Takata. A great example of using the internet to teach, learn, and collaborate. Includes a thematic index and site map, a kids page, and a variety of content that seems to be endless.

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Course outlines, essays, and other material of interest to those who teach critical criminology can be included on this page. Please submit relevant material or links to the webmaster.

Faculty Sites

Several critical criminologists have developed extensive web pages. Links to these pages are found below. These are educational pages that often encourage participation and feedback from all students - regardless of whether they are enrolled in University programs. In the tradition of critical criminology, these pages remain freely available. Please let us know about other effective teaching/learning sites that should be included.

The critcrim.org site is available to organizations and individuals working to critically analyze, and change, the justice system. The site is currently used by the American Society of Criminology's Division on Critical Criminology and the Critical Criminal Justice Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Members of these organizations are welcome to post information to the site.

In addition to specific sections created by these groups, much of the site is open to all users. Anyone interested in Critical Criminology is welcome to post to the site. Publishers are encouraged to add announcements about content of interest to the critical criminology community. Site users are welcome to post calls for papers or other relevant opportunities. Individuals are also encouraged to post announcements about their books, music, artwork, or anything else of interest to a wide variety of scholars.

We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.

Scholarship

The critcrim.org site is intended to be more than a collection of material. Many web sites accomplish little more than information transfer. "Content" is often limited to a list of links. From the beginning, the Division’s web site has included full text articles and other rich content. The site has always been intended as a place for interaction, critical thinking, and active learning.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Time: Fri, Nov 18 - 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Room: Royal York Hotel / Salon 1

As always, our meeting will be followed by the Division social.
