AB This article situates Canadian critical criminology within the ethos of neo-liberalism and in relation to early-twenty-first-century scholarship. Toward this end, we attempt to establish what is critical about 'critical' criminology. We argue that it extends critique beyond current ontological limits without laying down foundational content that would (re-)stitch new fabric onto the old. We acknowledge that 'critical' scholarship is becoming increasingly restrained by an almost all-encompassing neo-liberal ethos. Scholars working under the critical rubric are finding sources of data defensively guarded, and publishing and funding opportunities increasingly difficult to locate. As a result, several iconic critical scholars have migrated away from 'criminology.' However, despite a certain malaise and pessimism surrounding critical criminology, we hope that this article (and the accompanying special issue) will inspire new 'critical' horizons in criminology.
