NOTICE: Routledge Studies in the History of Crime and Criminal Justice

The following might be of interest:


SOLON is delighted to announce that Routledge publishers in conjunction with the SOLON Network are currently seeking submissions for a new research series, Routledge Studies in the History of Crime and Criminal Justice.

The aim of the series is to publish the very best in current research in the history of crime and criminal justice including legal and criminological perspectives with an academic readership in mind. Broad surveys rather than specific studies would be preferred and the notes below should give you an indication of the ideas the series editors have in mind. We would be happy to see proposals for monographs (including PhDs) and edited collections and are keen to welcome a broad and international selection of academics as authors and editors for books in the series. We hope to break new ground in research as well as offering fresh perspectives.

Please send us outline proposals and general expressions of interest/ideas/enquiries by the middle of August and full proposals as per attached by 30 October 2011

If you would like more information or indeed have any feedback or suggestions, we would be happy to hear from you. Please contact either Kim Stevenson (kim.stevenson@plymouth.ac.uk) or the commissioning editor for Criminology at Routledge, Tom Sutton (Thomas.sutton@tandf.co.uk). We look forward to hearing from you.
