Abstract
In our conversations about the challenges facing Criminology, what has surfaced repeatedly is the question of responsibility and our own positions of privilege, together with re-imagining ways in which we can give back, to multiple publics, in multiple ways. Criminological knowledge previously assumed a demarcation between academic knowledge generation and audience consumption, with a direction of travel from the former to the latter. In the UK and the USA, these shifts were driven by governmental imperatives for research impact, by expanding student numbers, the globalisation of education, and by new media and technology. How these changes, together with emerging theories and ways of understanding the world around us, are integrated into Criminology, is of interest to the public criminologist and the intellectually curious. We share our curiosity about these shifts and consider how criminological knowledge creation relates to the criminal justice professional, the educator, the public, and the future.
