ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF PUBLIC CRIMINOLOGIES Featuring contributions from scholars from across the globe, Routledge Handbook of Public Criminolo- gies is a comprehensive resource that addresses the challenges related to public conversations around crime and policy. In an era of fake news, misguided rhetoric about immigrants and refugees, and efforts to toughen criminal laws, criminologists seeking to engage publicly around crime and policy arguably face an uphill battle. This handbook outlines the foundations of and developments in public criminology, underscoring the need not only to understand earlier ideas and debates, but also how scholars pursue public-facing work through various approaches. The first of its kind, this collection captures diverse and critical perspectives on the practices and challenges of actually doing public criminology. The book presents real-world examples that help readers better understand the nature of public criminological work, as well as the structural and institutional barriers and enablers of engaging wider audiences. Contributors address policies around crime and crime control, media landscapes, and changing political dynamics. In examining attempts to bridge the gaps between scholarship, activism, and outreach, the essays featured here capture important tensions related to inequality and social difference, including the ways in which criminology can be complicit in perpetuating inequitable practices and structures, and how public criminology aims—but sometimes fails—to address them. The depth and breadth of material in the book will appeal to a wide range of academics, stu- dents, and practitioners. It is an important resource for early career researchers, more established scholars, and professionals, with accessible content that can also be used in upper-level under- graduate classes. Kathryn Henne is Professor of Regulation and Governance at the Australian National Univer- sity. Her work focuses on the interface between deviance, technologies of policing, and inequal- ity. She is the author of Testing for Athlete Citizenship: Regulating Doping and Sex in Sport (2015) and co-editor (with Blayne Haggart and Natasha Tusikov) of Information, Technology and Control in a Changing World (2019). Rita Shah is an Assistant Professor of Criminology at Eastern Michigan University. Her research examines the ways in which correctional systems are socially and legally constructed and critically analyses criminological methods and pedagogy. She is the author of The Meaning of Rehabilitation and its Impact on Parole: There and Back Again in California (Routledge, 2017), which queries the concept of rehabilitation to determine how, on a legislative and policy level, the term is defined as a goal of correctional systems.
