What Are the Barriers to the Development of Convict Criminology in Australia
Convict Criminology (CC) is a concept that has its roots in the USA in the mid-1990s and was created by a group of previously incarcerated academics (Ross and Richards, 2003). The movement has spread to other countries, with similar groups commencing in the UK and Canada with large numbers of active members (Richards and Ross, 2001; Aresti, 2012; Ross et al, 2014; Aresti and Darke, 2016; Newbold, 2017; Ross and Darke, 2018) with others such as Ne…
Carceral Communities in Latin America: Troubling Prison Worlds in the 21st Century
Coloniality, just war & carceral injustice in Brazil
The Portuguese empire brought inescapable violence to the indigenous communities of Brazil and to those it enslaved. Throughout the centuries of colonial subjugation, driven by the Iberian monarchical traditions of hierarchy, militarism and moral crusade, ‘just war’ narratives were employed to legitimate the use of violent legal and extra-legal measures against enslaved peoples and others deemed unruly or rebellious and a threat to colonial order…

Conviviality and Survival: Co-Producing Brazilian Prison Order
Practicing Convict Criminology: Lessons Learned from British Academic Activism
Joanne Belknap’s recent ASC presidential address included a critique of Convict Criminology’s activism. A number of concerns were provided, although of particular importance here are, first, Belknap’s concerns regarding the absence of ‘marginalized voices’ in the Convict Criminology network. Second, the issue of defining how non-con academics function as Convict Criminology group members. This paper responds to these criticisms. Specifically, we …
Prison Life, Sociology of: Recent Perspectives from the United Kingdom
Managing without guards in a Brazilian police lockup
Brazilian prisons are typically crowded and poorly resourced, yet at the same time may be active places. Of particular interest to the sociology of prisons is institutional reliance on inmate collaboration and self-ordering, not only to maintain prison routines, but, in the most low-staffed prisons, security and prisoner conduct as well. This article explores the roles played by inmates in running one such penal institution, a men's police lockup…
Inmate Governance in B razilian Prisons
Prisons in S ão P aulo and R io de J aneiro are run not so much by prison guards as by inmates. In circumstances of severe overcrowding and acute staff shortage, prisoners are recruited or organise themselves, not only to perform clerical and janitorial work, but also to provide for welfare, discipline and security. Such inmate governance is as much a defining feature of B razilian prison life as are inhumane living conditions. In recent years th…
The enforcement approach to crime prevention
When local government authorities began to develop criminal policies with the police in the 1980s, crime prevention was advocated as an inclusive, holistic approach to crime control that had the potential to challenge the prevailing justice paradigm. To date this new prevention paradigm has not been realized in England and Wales. The police and courts are being relied upon more than ever, and relatively few crime prevention initiatives are direct…
