《犯罪、媒體、文化》是一份經過同行全面審查的國際期刊，為從事犯罪學和文化研究交叉領域的學者提供了交流的主要渠道。它促進了對犯罪、刑事司法、媒體和文化之間關系的廣泛跨學科理解。犯罪/媒體/文化聯系與許多人的工作息息相關，他們的工作根植于社會關系和社會變革的理論之中，因此在整個社會科學和人文學科領域都保持著高度的相關性。犯罪、媒體和文化為嚴肅的辯論提供了一個獨特的、迫切需要的論壇，并以經驗上新穎和/或理論上嚴謹的研究為基礎。介于犯罪學和文化研究之間的某個令人興奮的領域。正是在這里，文化的轉變最為明顯，像《犯罪、媒體、文化》這樣的雜志可以在合適的時間提供合適的鏡頭。“犯罪、媒體、文化認同許多學者早已認識到的一點，即媒體和文化表征在塑造大眾對犯罪和司法以及官方政策的刻板印象方面至關重要。更好的是，該雜志的國際性承諾將整合北美、歐洲和亞太地區的現有學術成果。我很高興與“美國賓夕法尼亞州立大學Philip Jenkins”項目合作

Crime, Media, Culture is a fully peer reviewed, international journal providing the primary vehicle for exchange between scholars who are working at the intersections of criminological and cultural inquiry. It promotes a broad cross-disciplinary understanding of the relationship between crime, criminal justice, media and culture.The crime/media/culture nexus speaks to many whose work is embedded in theories of social relations and social change, and therefore maintains high relevance across the full spectrum of social sciences and humanities. Crime, Media, Culture provides a unique and much needed forum for serious debate underpinned by empirically novel and/or theoretically rigorous research."Somewhere between criminology and cultural studies in an area of excitement. It is here where the cultural shift is most evident and where a journal like Crime, Media, Culture can provide just the right lens at the right time" Jock Young, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, USA and University of Canterbury, UK"Crime, Media, Culture acknowledges what so many scholars have long recognized, namely the critical importance of media and cultural representations in shaping popular stereotypes of crime and justice, and thus of official policies. All the better the journal's international nature promises a long overdue integration of existing scholarship in North America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region. I am delighted to be associated with this project" Philip Jenkins, Pennsylvania State University, USA
