“…Their son recently published an excellent article on the children of incarcerated parents in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (Boudin, 2011). I could not find any instances where these three convict criminologists (Kathy Boudin, Angela Y. Davis, and Douglas E. Thompkins) were cited in the convict criminology literature (e.g., Earle, 2014;Jones et al, 2009;Newbold et al, 2014;Richards, 2013;Williams et al, 2014). In a 2013 article in the journal Critical Criminology, "The New School of Convict Criminology Thrives and Matures," by convict criminologist Dr. Stephen C. Richards, we learn that this perspective is "thriving" and "maturing" despite the either incredibly limited or complete absence of men of color, women, or lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer (LGBTQ) convict criminologists.…”

Similar to many criminologists, my interest in pursuing this career was driven by a desire to improve responses to injustices, on both small and large scales. I believe that among criminologists, this dedication to effect changes in social and legal justice disproportionately drives those of us historically kept out of the academy due to our race, gender, class, sexual identity, and/or other marginalizations. Fortunately, there is a growing diversity among criminologists and this has had a powerful impact on expanding the scope and depth of the field. At the same time, I am concerned that academic training and university climates frequently work against our commitment to advancing social and legal justice changes, what I refer to as “criminology activism.” This address is a call to action, stressing criminologists’ responsibility to advocate for social and legal justice on small and large scales. Numerous types of criminology activism are identified (e.g., in research, service, and teaching), including the requisite to continue diversifying the representation of criminologists.
