cjm 78: Visual criminology
The latest issue of cjm explores a range of topical issues including recent high profile probation cases, Welsh approaches to youth justice, DNA databases, prospects for change in the US under the Obama administration, and critical perspectives on risk based approaches to crime prevention. We also feature a series of photographs from the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies' What is crime? photography competition.
The magazine also includes a special themed section on Visual criminology, edited by Dr Peter Francis of Northumbria University. Francis, outlines his approach as having `been to bring together a range of practitioner and academic researchers whose work can be broadly described under the heading of visual criminology, in order to showcase their creative and academic work, and to highlight the potential of a criminology that embraces the image and visual culture'.
