Text Box: The Critical Criminologist Text Box: As we rapidly approach the start of the 2002 annual meetings of the American Society of Criminology, it is now time to think about issues that need to be addressed at our annual DCC business meeting. The meeting will be held on Friday, November 15 at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Parlor B from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Prior to this meeting, at 3:30 p.m. (same day and ending at 5:00 p.m.) in Parlor A, their will be a joint meeting of our division, the Division on People of Color and Crime, and the Division on Women and Crime. The joint meeting, as you may recall from reading the last issue of The Critical Criminologist, was scheduled so that members of these divisions can get together to discuss the “unintended consequences” of the ASC program change. The DCC party will start at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in Parlor B on November 15. I look forward to seeing all of our friends and colleagues at the three events announced here. Further, please let the DCC Executive know if there is anything beyond the issues covered below that should be discussed at the 5:00 p.m. business meeting. Unfortunately, both this meeting and the party are not listed in the hard copy of the preliminary program but are posted on the ASC website. Text Box: One of the most exciting features of the DCC business meeting is the awards ceremony. As you know, each year one Division member receives a Lifetime Achievement Award and another gets the Critical Criminologist of the Year Award. Moreover, the DCC gives a Graduate Student Paper Award and an Undergraduate Student Paper Award. Please send your nominations and papers to me and I will forward them to the Awards Committee. My e-mail address is dekesere@ohiou.edu and my office telephone number is (740) 593-1376. It is also time to search for new Co-Editors of The Critical Criminologist. The current Editors, Barbara Simms, Rick Matthews and Mary Bosworth, have made many important contributions to this newsletter and we greatly appreciate the considerable amount of time and effort they have devoted to keeping DCC members up-to-date on news and issues of major concern to all of us. The DCC would also like to thank all the people who have sent Barb, Rick and Mary articles, announcements, etc. We will elect the new Editors at the business meeting and we need nominations well in advance of this event. The Editors do not have to be based at the same institution; however, they require financial support from Text Box: Message From the Chair Text Box: Newsletter of ASC’s Division on Critical Criminology
