Description
Contemporary Criminological Issues: Moving Beyond Insecurity and Exclusion tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues—from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts—,advances cutting-edge theories and methods to make sense of these issues, and proposes policy responses that promote social inclusion and security.
This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologist and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’
This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars.
Published in English. Also available in French: Enjeux criminologiques contemporains : Au-delà de l’insécurité et de l’exclusion.

Gillian Balfour is Associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Trent University.
Gillian recently completed a PhD in sociology at the University of Manitoba where she examined the role of lawyers in the criminalization of men and women accused of violent crimes. Her PhD research examined the practice of law as a social act that is constrained and enabled by socio-political interests of “law and order,” professional codes of conduct, and the identities of victims and offenders and the meaning of violence that are encoded with stereotypes of whiteness, Indianness, dangerousness, poverty, heterosexuality, femininity and masculinity.
Her research interests include law reforms in the areas of domestic and sexual violence, women, crime and social justice, feminist criminology and Aboriginal peoples in the criminal justice system. Gillian teaches Sociology of Law, Feminist Criminology and Introductory Sociology.
