“…This of course does not detract from their monumental achievement; it is only to illustrate the doxic nature of crime for organising even critical criminological enquiry. Doxic categories such as crime operate as an epistemological obstacle to the advancement of knowledge within criminology and to the further development of criminology as a critical social science [25,27].…”

Abstract:In growing numbers criminologists are discovering the value of imaginative and creative approaches for enquiry. There is now a critical mass of criminological work that engages substantively and theoretically with cultural artefacts such as film, fiction, music, dance, art, photography and cultural institutions. In doing so these works highlight criminology's persistent epistemological and methodological weaknesses. The broad and fragmented "imaginative criminology" movement offers a challenge to an orthodox criminology that is guided by the coercive and constraining bureaucratic categories of criminal justice administration and the criminal law. Imaginative criminology displaces these as the governing categories of criminological thought and practice. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, Louis Althusser, and C. Wright Mills this paper considers the movement's epistemological significance and the challenge posed to criminological orthodoxy.

“…In the realm of theory, as Frauley (2005) suggests, there is a struggle in criminology between practicing theory (thinking theoretically) and referring to it (the technocratic 'protective service' orientation of criminal justice). Criminology today is contextualized in a framework of criminal justice for both academics and those seeking information from the discipline.…”

“…and managerial regimes (neo-liberal social and economic policy) that accompany this. These indicators have been variously adopted to discuss the rise of criminal justice departments (Frauley 2005, Huey 2011, Chunn and Menzies 2006. They are powerful conceptual tools to assist us in explaining the lure of specialized programs, particularly in terms of attracting students (interesting areas of study, and a degree that could equal a job) and how universities come to rely on markets outside of the state to sustain themselves.…”

“…Huey (2011) describes applied criminology as concerned with the transmission of practical knowledge (81). Frauley (2005) and Huey (2011) charge that applied criminology is frequently conceptualized as a form of protective service, which is clearly a set of practical, non-academic concerns. Both Menzies and Chunn (1999) and Huey (2011) relate this to shifts in universities as credential marts and the translation of marketable skills to students at the loss of critical thinking.…”

From Plan to Market...Marketizing the Non-Economic: The economy of higher education: markets and marketization of Canadian post-secondary education

This dissertation examines post-secondary education (PSE) through six case studies of criminal justice departments found in Canadian universities. It argues that postsecondary education is highly marketized in terms of demand but is more immune to market influences at the level of the state. The dissertation uses a relational analysis to examine relations between the state and post-secondary institutions. It identifies three primary markets in post-secondary education including academic labour and research markets, institutional finance markets, and student /labour and credential markets. Utilizing the concept of marketization, defined as a host of policy changes which seek to make institutions more accountable, the study assess the shift of post-secondary education toward a commercial and corporate form. I consider the institutions of post-secondary education as a constellation of power relationships between the state and institution, between institutions themselves, between professors and institutions, between professors and students, between institutions and students and between external forces such as markets and states, markets and institutions, markets and students, and markets and professors. The content of these relationships is determined by the intensity, character, and nature of their interdependences. This work seeks to reveal these relationships by examining the role of the state and various markets that constitute post-secondary education, what this looks like and its effect on the constitution of liberal arts education. This thesis argues that the current post-secondary academic form in Canada may be considered as a reflection of market practices and the operation of the state in a relational manner. I want to acknowledge my colleagues at the University of Winnipeg, without whom I would not have finished. To Michael, Jane, Steven, and Richard, thanks for the discussions, the laughter, and the undying support. And to the newest members of our work family, Kevin and Michelle. A fantastic place to work.Specific thanks to Paul Datta, who over pints, phone conversations, long drives, and friendship was not only an intellectual interlocutor but a wonderful friend. Many thanks, Comrade. To Robyn, Erin, and Mike for the early stages. And to Shannon, Anissa, and the Billies, for wine, beer, and song.And my beautiful daughters, Gabrielle and Mara, who grew up with a mom as a student and suffered through my difficulties balancing family with work. I love them more than words can say. To Paul I owe a great debt of gratitude simply for being the person he is. My sisters, nieces and nephews, and father for financial and loving support, and for always pointing out who was the nerd of the family. And finally, thanks to Greg for his wonderful sense of humour, mad editing skills, and love. the resulting tensions in which it operates.
