Contemporary Criminological Issues: Moving Beyond Insecurity and Exclusion

This book examines key contemporary criminological issues with the aim of moving beyond scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion.

The edited collection features two tomes, one in English and one in French, reflecting interdisciplinary and critical criminological scholarship that advances alternative ways of conceptualizing and responding to criminalized activities and social harms.

The breadth of the approaches characterizes much of critical criminological scholarship today, despite the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ The book advances cutting-edge theories and methods to make sense of these issues, and proposes policy responses that promote social inclusion and security.

Chapters are the result of collaborations by University of Ottawa researchers, along with their current or former co-researchers working in other disciplines or in other universities to highlight the array of networks and global reach of the department, and of past or present students.

This book is published in English.

Cet ouvrage, qui aborde les principaux enjeux criminologiques contemporains, a pour ambition de depasser les recherches conventionnelles qui tendent a reproduire les modeles d'insecurite et d'exclusion.

Declinee en deux versions, anglaise et francaise, cette publication fait l'inventaire des recherches interdisciplinaires et criminologiques critiques actuelles qui proposent des solutions novatrices visant, d'une part, a refleter une conceptualisation robuste des enjeux et, d'autre part, a repondre efficacement aux defis poses par les activites criminalisees et les prejudices sociaux qui en resultent.

La diversite des methodologies exposees dans cet ouvrage est representative de la plupart des recherches criminologiques critiques entreprises de nos jours, et ce, en depit du developpement des approches criminologiques de type administratif ou managerial et de l'essor des politiques et des pratiques etatiques explicitement punitives et fondees sur l'exclusion face a des comportements juges criminels ou susceptibles de porter atteinte a la securite. Cet ouvrage propose des theories et des methodes de pointe pour repondre a ces enjeux tout en proposant des reponses politiques appropriees, qui promeuvent a la fois l'inclusion sociale et la securite.

Cet ouvrage est le produit d'une fructueuse collaboration entre des chercheurs en criminologie de l'Universite d'Ottawa et des chercheurs exercant dans d'autres disciplines ou dans d'autres universites, et ce, afin de souligner le rayonnement international du departement de criminologie de l'Universite d'Ottawa et le vaste reseau de specialistes et d'experts au sein duquel il intervient.

Ce livre est publie en anglais.
