Special Issue of Current Issues in Criminal Justice
In September 2019, Current Issues in Criminal Justice released an issue solely devoted to LGBTIQ+ issues in criminology, guest edited by Nicole Asquith, Trudie Broderick, Justin Ellis, Angela Dwyer and Matthew Ball. The edition had its genesis from the ‘Queer(y)ing Justice in the Global South’ conference held at the University of Sydney in July 2018 and focuses on queer criminology with an Australian perspective. This is a timely edition, illuminating aspects of the criminal justice experience for LGBTQ+ people, and an essential reading for anyone interested in diversity in criminological scholarship. Read the full edition.
