TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Crime, criminal justice, and popular culture JO - Journal of criminal justice education A1 - Anderson, Scott K. A1 - Howard, Gregory J. SP - 123 EP - 123 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - Significant attention has been given, especially in nonacademic circles, to various forms of popular culture and their relationship to violence, crime, and other forms of deviance. Nonetheless, relatively little criminological thought has been directed toward this important area. In this paper we articulate the value of popular culture analyses to studies of criminal justice and criminology, and describe a new scholarly journal titled the Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture, which is dedicated to this topic. 1 The authors would like to thank Frankie Bailey, Leo Barrile, Michael Lynch, Brendan Maguire, Richard McCleary, Graeme Newman, and Ray Surette for serving on the editorial board of the Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture. We extend special thanks to Martin Gottschalk, Graeme Newman, and Frankie Bailey for reading and otherwise assisting in the preparation of this article.
