Dear Friends and Colleagues: I hope your summer is going well. Recall that our last DCC business meeting there was a discussion and debate about the relationship between the ACJS Section on Critical Criminology and the DCC. Note, too, as stated in the attached minutes of the last business meeting, "After much discussion, the membership decided to continue the work of the committee investigating the integration of the 2 divisions. Bob Bohm, Jeff Walker and Bruce Arrigo with the addition of 1 or 2 members will distribute the proposal the committee has already prepared and will follow up with information on varied levels of integration and the pros and cons of such. This will be brought to the membership." The DCC Executive has decided that a committee would be appointed to investigate the strengths and limitations of integration, write a formal report, and then submit the written report to the Executive and to the entire DCC membership 30 days prior to the 2008 DCC business meeting. At this meeting, the membership will then vote on the type of relationship it wants with the ACJS Section. The committee has been struck and the members are: Bob Bohm (Chair), Chris Mullins, Meda Chesney-Lind, Rick Matthews, Susan Caringella, and Peter Kraska. On behalf of the DCC, I would like to thank these folks for taking time away from their busy schedules, friends, and loved ones to do this important work. All DCC members should have a copy of the DCC Constitution and thus I have attached to another message sent to the listserv for your reference. Special thanks must go to Ken Mentor for helping us all communicate with each other. Turning to another matter, you will soon hear from the DCC Awards Committee. Please start thinking about people you want to nominate for awards. Best, Walter DeKeseredy, Chair ASC Division on Critical Criminology
