RT Article T1 The first edition JF Social justice VO 26 IS 2 SP 108 OP 113 A1 Schwendinger, Herman A2 Schwendinger, Julia R. LA English YR 1999 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1747159921 AB Part of a special issue celebrating 25 years of this journal. The writers discuss the circumstances surrounding the publication of the first edition of this journal. In 1973, Hi Schwendinger began to talk about the need for a journal that concentrated on radical criminology, so he set about forming an editorial collective. The editorial collective was dominated by a spirit of egalitarianism, so the functions of a chief editor were assigned to a rotating editor called a “coordinating editor.” This journal enriched the theoretical side of radical criminology by focusing on world systems approaches to crime, punishment, and social justice.
