Volume 27 of the Sociology of Crime, Law, and Deviance delves into a diverse range of topics that hold immense importance for equity, inclusion, and diversity in the field of criminology and criminal justice studies. The research domain of crime, criminal justice, and social control has traditionally paid greater attention to diversity in its subject matter compared to the profession and scholarship itself.

In general, the disparities within the criminal justice system are more widely recognized than the inequalities present in criminology and among scholars of criminal justice. The authors in this volume showcase the theoretical and methodological sophistication and diversity in reflexive accounts of criminology and criminal justice across various areas, including but not limited to teaching and research in criminology, queer criminology, the intersections of race and gender, indigeneity and decolonization, domestic violence, human rights, mass incarceration, LBGTQI+ rights, and ableism. Providing a comprehensive overview of diversity in criminological and criminal justice methodologies, this volume is of interest to a wide spectrum of scholars and students in the fields of criminology, sociology, law, justice policy, and criminal justice.
