As the Founder and Executive Senior Editor of CRIMSOC: the Journal of Social Criminology, I am pleased to welcome you to our first edition to be published by Waterside Press, the UK’s leading publisher of works in the area of criminology and criminal justice.
Since our inception in 2009, CRIMSOC/JSC has published articles by contributors from every continent, and we now see this partnership with Waterside Press as a major step in developing this journal into one of the most interesting and significant criminological publications available to both those working in academics or research, or to the wider public who share our interest in the criminal justice realm.

The York Deviancy Conference held from June 29th to July 1, 2011 added more empirical support to the claim that critical criminology is very much alive and well. The conference generated fond memories for those who participated in the first National Deviancy Conference held at the University of York in 1968. This event also brought together scholars from around the globe to discuss new progressive theoretical, empirical, and political work that needs to be done in this current era. We definitely learned much from this inspiring gathering, and we developed new intellectual partnerships and friendships.
