Editor's Statement

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce two new sections of JTPC which will be included in the July edition of the journal. The first new section is entitled, "Critical Discourse: Conversations in Criminology and the Social Sciences." The purpose of this section is to explore a variety of topics related to criminology and the social sciences in an unstructured and informal manner, much like a conversation between friends. The vehicle for this extended conversation will be e-mail, which not only provides an ease of contact, but a working text that can be easily edited and formatted for publication in our journal. Bruce Arrigo and I decided to use an ongoing e-mail conversation focused on phenomenological and postmodern considerations as they relate to theory and the practice of criminology, as the first example of this experiment. We both found this to be an enjoyable and interesting project; we hope you agree.

The second new addition to the journal will be a section for book reviews related to criminology, criminal justice, offender treatment, race theory and a variety of related topics and issues. The journal will employ a “rolling submission process for these reviews. Any approved review received after August 1st and up to February 1st will be published in the July edition of JTPC; any approved review received after February 1st and before July 1st will be published in the January edition of the journal. Student submissions are greatly encouraged!

It is our hope that you will enjoy the changes we have made to the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Criminology.

Sincerely,

David Polizzi, Indiana State University
Editor-in-Chief
