Fear of Crime Research Papers (original) (raw)

The essays in the fourth volume of The Annual Review of Interdisciplinary Justice Research reflect upon and examine critically the justice disciplines in Canada. In using this term, we refer to stand-alone postsecondary university degree programs and university research centres that are variously titled criminal justice, justice studies, police studies, as well as related programs such as law and security; indigenous people and law; criminal policy management; human justice; youth justice; community, crime and social justice; justice and public safety; indigenous people and justice and the like. The term ‘justice disciplines’ encompasses several scholarly perspectives that focus on aspects of crime and criminal justice and draws inspiration from John Crank’s (2003) argument that the problematic of justice itself ought to be the unifying concept at the heart of our scholarly endeavors. Thus, no matter what department we find ourselves in, and despite the challenges in defining justice, we are united by a commitment to “a broader, more open-ended investigation into the nature of justice itself” (Crank 2003: 14). We present this collection of essays as an inclusive dialogue on the state of the justice disciplines in Canada, reflecting critically on our collective history while identifying some of the challenges that we face as university educators.
