New journal: Justice, Power and Resistance
We are pleased to announce an exciting addition to the Policy Press journals list for 2021: Justice, Power and Resistance (JPR). JPR is the journal of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control and is currently published by EG Press. We are delighted to be working together on the re-launch of the journal with Policy Press in September 2021.
JPR is an international, peer-reviewed journal promoting critical analysis and connecting theory, politics and activism. Working towards social justice, state accountability and decarceration, the journal is primarily a vehicle to make accessible and advance challenging research and scholarship that can be utilised to critically inform contemporary debates and policies.
