They had the idea three years ago to apply for the editorship and try to resuscitate the newsletter. At that point in time, I had interviewed at Eastern and been offered a job, but was still months away from arriving in Ypsilanti. I had met both of them for the first time at the interview, but they suggested we go at this as a team; ‘it’ll be a fun project’. Working on the newsletter with them has been a good experience. There’s been positive feedback about the Critical Criminologist itself and it’s been a great point of contact with Gregg and Stuart. (The latter point is not to be underestimated if you’ve ever spent time in Ypsilanti.) At the moment, I’m taking up Jim Thomas’ challenge from an earlier newsletter to take critical criminology to the internet. The skills I’ve acquired putting together the newsletter are going into building my webpage. Please check it out at Http://www.PaulsJusticePage.com I had a graduate seminar collect web resources on non-repressive responses to violence. Those links are collected on part of the page. A graduate student of mine has just done a review of state restorative justice legislation that should be posted on my site by the time you read this newsletter. Thanks & peace, Paul
