Do the Conditions inside the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons Facilities Violate the Nelson Mandela Rules on detention
This article examines how the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) violates specific provisions of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Nelson Mandela Rules). Through systematic analysis of accommodation standards, healthcare services, and solitary confinement practices, this article identifies fourteen distinct violations across these three domains. Drawing on peer-reviewed research, government repo…

Every Picture Tells a Story
Convict Criminology (CC) consists of three major initiatives. Although scholarship and mentoring have been dominant activities, understanding the activism/policymaking of CC is less well known. This paper reviews the primary United States based activities that CC has done in this area and suggests what it needs to do to assist the interests of individuals who arebehind bars and those who are formerly incarcerated, as well as work towards the miss…
Thinking Critically About the Next Decade of Convict Criminology
Convict Criminology (CC) is a quarter-century old. During those years, this combined approach, group, organization, school, theory, and network has produced scholarly literature and mentored actual and aspiring doctoral students who have been incarcerated and released from carceral custody, assisting them in their careers and engaging in corrections-related policy debates and activism. As the academic fi elds and real-world practice of Correction…
A grandes cautelas, otras mayores
During and since the Pinochet dictatorship, Chile has entertained and implemented new criminal justice policies and practices. Many of these ideas originated in the United States, and are tied to neoliberal initiatives. Advocates of these new initiatives, both inside and outside Chile, equate them to panaceas, and solely and/or disproportionately emphasise the benefits that can be achieved by implementing these policies and practices, while negle…

Clarifying street culture
Scholarly fields are meant to be dynamic to accommodate new information that is infused with old. One of these areas is the notion, subject, subfield and process of street culture. Despite the frequency of its usage in the social sciences, urban planning, and selected areas of the visual arts, rarely is the term street culture defined and when it is, the definitions are often conceptually lacking. This article synthesizes current ideas about the …
Routledge Handbook of Street Culture
This chapter engages with a growing interest from urban sociology, criminology and critical legal studies with conviviality and negotiation in the shared use of public space. It reports on research that has investigated the flourishing and rapidly globalising parkour scene and highlights how a discourse of conviviality has been central to processes of legitimisation in the contest for an informal use of public space. The chapter throws an analyti…
Reframing urban street culture
How American-based Television Commercials Portray Convicts, Correctional Officials, Carceral Institutions, and the Prison Experience
The manner in which deviant and marginalized groups are portrayed in popular culture shapes public perceptions and policy responses. These messages are communicated through a variety of channels. Over the past decade, scholarly interest in the portrayal of prisoners, correctional officers, and correctional institutions has increased. One of the unexplored, important, and relatively contemporary mediums through which inmates, correctional officers…
Instructing and Mentoring Ex-Con University Students in Departments of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Recognizing the growing presence of university students who are also ex-cons, this article discusses the challenges of working with such individuals and offers practical suggestions for ways to enhance such interactions. The effects of institutional socialization, cultural differences, and a range of abilities and motivations presented by ex-con students requires a need to design and implement unique instructional, especially mentoring, approache…
In search of academic legitimacy
Much has changed since the 1960s when the first scholarship on contemporary graffiti appeared. The current paper is an attempt to outline and contextualize a number of recurrent challenges facing researchers of graffiti and street art, as well as developments that have taken place in this scholarly field. The aim of creating this outline is to assist in increasing the amount, and improving the quality, of future scholarship on graffiti and street…
Routledge Handbook of Graffiti and Street Art
Graffiti and Street Art have received varying research treatment from artist, subcultural,ethnographic and crimogenic perspectives which are reflected in the literature on individual graffiti and street artists, gangs and genres, with a growth in art monographs and coffee table style pictorials. The productionist dialectic between graffiti as vandalism and as ‘art’ (including in galleries) has not considered the wider aspects of the role and plac…
Inmate Responses to Correctional Officer Deviance
The relationship between correctional officers (COs) and prisoners is dynamic and bounded by a unique context. COs engage in numerous sanctioned and unsanctioned behaviors within their correctional institution. The latter actions are typically referred to as deviant behavior. COs’ deviance can have a debilitating effect not only on other officers, correctional workers, the administration, but also inmates and the institution as a whole. This arti…

Prison Research From the Inside
A perspective that has often been absent in criminal justice research is that of former prisoners. This article discusses the establishment, in 1997, of "convict criminology," a group of scholars producing research informed by their experiences of crime and the criminal justice process; that is, either those who have served time themselves or who have operated alongside prisoners as professionals in custodial settings. It is argued that such scho…
Debunking the Myths of American Corrections
Knocking on the Ivory Tower's Door
This article reports the results of an investigation involving a select number of former prisoners with completed PhDs, who applied for work as tenure-track criminology/criminal justice professors. It attempts to place into context the literature on ex-convicts’ employment, the hiring process at academic institutions, and the experiences of ex-convicts with PhDs competing for academic jobs at colleges and universities. The findings are based on t…

Analyzing Contemporary Introductory Textbooks on Correctional Administration/Management/Organization
This book review essay discusses and analyzes how introductory textbooks on correctional administration, written primarily for the American university market, frame the discourse on this subject matter. The writer presents both quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence of coverage given to prison administration. In addition to traditional content analysis methods, the authors of these books were contacted and asked to explain the decision‐m…
Ironies of controlling state crime
Structural Causes of Oppositional Political Terrorism
The most prominent causes of oppositional political terrorism can be explained by three categories of theories: structural, psychological, and rational choice. While structural variables are most abundant, and much easier to operationalize and measure than psychological or rational choice factors, they have rarely been integrated into a causal model. Those models and theories that incorporate structural variables, however, suffer from a number of…

Attributes of domestic political terrorism in Canada, 1960–1985
The author presents the methodology and selected results from his original chronology and data set on Canadian terrorist events. The data base covers the years 1960–1985, includes almost 500 separate events, is coded on forty variables, and is more detailed, rigorous, and comprehensive than other compilations. The domestic events were analyzed in order to determine their frequency, nature, severity, scope, range, and intensity. Analyses of select…

The rise and fall of Québecois separatist terrorism
During the 1960s and early 1970s, there was a rise in oppositional political terrorism in Québec committed by individuals and organizations that wanted the province to separate from the rest of Canada. This situation provides an excellent case study that demonstrates the phenomenon that many of the same factors that lead to the rise of terrorism also cause its decline

The Marginalization of State Crime in Introductory Textbooks on Criminology
This article reviews how introductory textbooks on criminology, geared toward the American market, have disproportionately ignored the subject matter of state crime. The authors present both qualitative and quantitative empirical evidence of coverage given to crimes of the state from leading introductory textbooks, and then pose several questions for future research that could provide answers as to why this is the case. Ross and Rothe then contac…

Contemporary radical right-wing violence in Canada
Despite the presence of radical right‐wing movements, groups, and individuals in Canada, a paucity of academic research on this topic exists. Concurrently, the majority of material on this particular area has employed either journalistic or ethnographic methodologies. What remains is several thesi and dissertations and a couple of excellent case studies describing not only membership, but also the most salient activities of radical right‐wing gro…

A model of the psychological causes of oppositional political terrorism
In this article, I outline a series of factors and hypotheses, which are logically connected and amenable to empirical testing, concerning the psychological causes of oppositional political terrorism. I then develop a model of this process. The variables, hypotheses, and model are derived from research descriptive of and associated with the psychological dynamics of terrorism. This model seeks to avoid the overgeneralization and reductionism prev…

Deconstructing the terrorism–news media relationship
The news media are an extremely powerful actor in the dynamics of oppositional political terrorism.1 Just how important newspapers, radio, and television are during ongoing campaigns and in the context of terrorist incidents is a subject of constant debate (Atwater, 1987; Jenkins, 2003). Any understanding of the connections between this type of violence and the media must be embedded in broader discussions of: the power of the media (e.g. Shaw an…

Research note
Based on a review of the literature and a logical deductive approach, the author develops 12 testable research hypotheses in connection with the possibility of oppositional political terrorism during the 1990–91 Gulf Crisis and War. The article represents the foundation of future research on one of most important anomalies of this political crisis

The structure of Canadian terrorism
Why has radical right‐wing violence been so invisible? Academics have produced endless studies of criminal, political, ethnic, and racist violence. But little emphasis has been put on the radical right's violence, either on its own or as part of the violence that has received more attention. To begin filling this void, we should more closely examine the dimensions of this kind of violence, particularly as they manifest themselves in Canada. Unlik…
The current status of Comparative Policing in the curriculum
This article reviews the current status of Comparative Policing in the criminology/criminal justice curriculum. In particular, it examines why comparative policing is important but is marginalized in typical American criminology/criminal justice departments. Seven principal difficulties with teaching comparative policing are identified and a like number of suggestions for improving the delivery of this type of course are offered

Living Off Crime
Cutting the Edge
Understanding crime, criminals, and criminal justice from a radical/critical perspective is indispensable in today's academic, applied research, and policy sectors. Neglect of this approach leads to narrow-mindedness and the probability of repeating past mistakes or reinventing the wheel. Reading Cutting the Edge will encourage individuals and organizations, especially students and instructors, to think in innovative and new ways experimenting wi…

Behind Bars
Behind Bars: Surviving Prison is a US-based peer-written book designed to fill this gap. Interestingly, though, when explaining who the audience of the book is, the authors say of content of the book that it covers what “you need to know it before you’re arrested, not after. After you’re arrested it will be too late, because the journey to prison may have already begun.”

Global Responses to Terrorism
Global Responses to Terrorism: 9/11 Afghanistan and Beyond, Mary Buckley and Rick Fawn, eds., New York: Routledge, 2003. In the aftermath of 9/11, book publishers have been relatively quick to release works that somehow capitalize on the public's demand for insight with respect to terrorism and groups such as Al-Qaeda. Many of the monographs have been the work of journalists, others the efforts of scholars, and some the writings of practitioners.…
Swimming Upstream
Over the past two decades, a growing number of criminologists have conducted rigorous research on state crime and have tried to disseminate it widely by developing academic courses that specifically address crimes of the state. However, teaching this subject, like other controversial matters, is not as straightforward as some might expect. This paper presents a framework for understanding the teaching of state crime in undergraduate and graduate …
