Call for Papers – 2023 Special Issue

CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESPONSES TO OPIOD OVERDOSES

In recent years, many jurisdictions in the United States have experienced an unprecedented increase in drug overdoses and deaths arising from the increased use of illicit opioids and the misuse of prescription opioids. How has the criminal justice responded, and to what effect? What have we learned about effective (or ineffective) justice and prevention approaches to reduce opioid misuse and mitigate its consequences? CPP invites papers that examine these topics for a special issue on the opioid crisis.

We particularly welcome empirical evaluations of legislative policies and efforts by criminal and juvenile justice agencies, including those undertaken with public health and other community partners, to address this ongoing crisis. Papers should have clear and direct implications for developing and evaluating justice-related policy and practice.

Papers for this special issue must be submitted through the ScholarOne online submission site for Criminology & Public Policy (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/capp) by November 30, 2022. We anticipate publishing accepted papers in Issue 3 of 2023. All papers will go through CPP’s normal peer-review process. For questions about this call for papers, please contact the Editors- in-Chief, below.

Mass Incarceration in the 21st Century: Realities and Reflections

Edited by: Addrain Conyers, PhD (Marist College), Vanessa Lynn, PhD (Marist College), Margaret Leigey, PhD (The College of New Jersey)

MassIncarcerationReader@gmail.com

Mass Incarceration is a concept used to describe the exponential prison growth in the United States of America that began in the 1970s. Over the last half century, the nation’s jail and prison population increased by 500% (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2020). While there has been a slight decline in the prison population in recent years, the effects of the Mass Incarceration era in the United States has been nothing short of catastrophic, resulting in disparities in incarceration rates that plague the poor, communities of color, and women. Mass Incarceration is more than mass imprisonment, it is a culmination of policies and practices that benefits the privileged praxis and consequently disproportionally disenfranchises marginalized communities. It is an ideology, and every stage of the criminal justice system, from policing to release, contributes to this social and public health problem; therefore, in order to have a complete understanding of the history of Mass Incarceration, it is essential to expand one’s examination beyond the department of corrections. Mass Incarceration is also the administration behind laws, bias practices, and an unforgiving societal stigma.

Chapter proposal submissions are invited from researchers, practitioners, and individuals directly impacted by mass incarceration (i.e. under correctional control, formerly incarcerated, loved ones, etc.).

All content must be original and not previously published. We welcome book chapter contributions focused (but not exclusively) on the following themes:

Theories of Mass Incarceration
Laws and Policies
Life Inside
Reentry
Collateral Consequences
Global Perspectives on Mass Incarceration
Ending Mass Incarceration
