Recent Articles Roundup

After two book roundups, it's time for an article roundup! Most of you probably already read Punishment and Society and Theoretical Society, but you may or may not read Law and Society Review and Law and Social Inquiry. However, both of the latter have recently published issues with a disproportionate number of articles by Punishment and Society folks.

In Law and Social Inquiry's Spring 2015 issue, check out:

• Ben Crewe, Alison Liebling, and Susie Hulley's article, "Staff-Prisoner Relationships, Staff Professionalism, and the Use of Authority in Public- and Private-Sector Prisons" (lead article of the issue!) 
• Mona Lynch and Craig Haney's article, "Emotion, Authority, and Death: (Raced) Negotiations in Mock Capital Jury Deliberations" 
• Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve and Lauren Mayes's article, "Criminal Justice Through 'Colorblind' Lenses: A Call to Examine the Mutual Constitution of Race and Criminal Justice"

I think the large number of P&S works in our more mainstream L&S journals is a great sign for our growing subfield!
