Suggests how criminology can remedy its neglect of the phenomenon of state crime, without adopting such a broad definition of crime as to destroy the coherence of criminology as a distinct field. Employs as examples the Anglo-American and Turkish state traditions in an attempt to establish a continuum that incorporates authoritarian and democratic state formations.

This article provides an editorial introduction to the following three related articles on the growing use and influence of social science research in family law. It first considers why this has become problematic and identifies some common strategies used by advocates, sometimes under the guise of scholarship, to destroy the standing of research findings contrary to their ideological or political position. Then it discusses briefly the remedies proposed to mitigate these kinds of problems within the following three articles.
"British Social Attitudes (BSA) is a high quality survey that has been conducted annually since 1983 by NatCen Social Research. Each year's survey asks a random sample of people living in Great Britain their views on a wide range of social and political issues. The survey aims to facilitate (i) the development and evaluation of public policy, and (ii) the academic study of public opinion. Thanks to its practice of regularly repeating questions asked in previous years, it has become the premier source of information on long-term trends in social attitudes in Britain"--

The field of prison studies has been dominated by an androcentric outlook, with little attention paid to women. Offering a unique theoretical fusion of the sociology of imprisonment, carceral geography, feminism and cultural criminology, Women's Imprisonment in Eastern Europe: 'Sitting out Time' examines how social, political, and cultural factors have shaped the development of gendered penal regimes in Eastern Europe and created an institutional battleground for opposing ideologies. Expanding from Latvia as a focal point, Arta Jalili Idrissi provides a current snapshot of women's imprisonment across the Global East. Understanding the situated and complex nature of the prison as an institution, she captures the interplay between the Soviet legacy and a neoliberal agenda within three distinct realms of punishment: spatial, procedural and relational. Revealing clashes within the prison environment, as well as their broader socio-political and ideological contexts, Jalili Idrissi also exposes the specific nuances of gender implications. The first qualitative study based on an ethnographic approach to women's carceral experiences in Latvia, Women's Imprisonment in Eastern Europe: 'Sitting out Time' draws parallels across Eastern Europe and throughout the neoliberal West to provide a refreshing and timely addition to the study of criminology and the sociology of imprisonment.

"Alors que la philosophie s'est longtemps pensée comme mère de toutes les sciences", les nouveaux champs de savoirs de l'époque moderne, soucieux désormais d'assurer leur autonomie scientifique, n'ont eu de cesse de contester cette position. C'est encore vrai à l'époque contemporaine où les sciences sociales ont cherché à ravir la place jadis occupée par la philosophie. Tel est le conflit que Johann Michel explore dans cet ouvrage à la fois original et novateur, dont tout l'enjeu est de mettre en lumière la manière dont, d'une part, les sciences sociales dérivent de courants fondateurs de la philosophie (positivisme, pragmatisme, phénoménologie...) et, d'autre part, les sciences sociales opposent leurs méthodes et leurs objets à ceux de la philosophie. Enfin, il s'agit d'éclairer la manière dont les sciences sociales et la philosophie peuvent chercher, sous certaines conditions, à se féconder mutuellement."--Page 4 of cover
