Part of the book series: Critical Criminology series

Abstract

Several students and two faculty members of Berkeley’s School of Criminology were responsible for publishing in 1974 the first issue of Crime and Social Justice (CSJ), ‘a radical journal for a people’s criminology’. The format for the earliest issues included articles by academic criminologists, reports on popular struggles for justice, course outlines, and review essays of books. The political roots of CSJ are to be found generally in the experiences of the New Left — especially the student, anti-war and women’s movements — and particularly in the academic and state repression of progressive students and intellectuals at Berkeley and other universities.
