Radical Criminology, edited by Jeff Shantz [Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Vancouver, British Columbia], is dedicated to bridging the gap between the academy and the global activist community, especially with regard to state violence, state-corporate crime, the growth of surveillance regimes, and the prison-industrial complex. More pointedly, the journal aims to be not simply a project of critique, but is also geared toward a praxis of struggle, insurgence, and practical resistance. Issue 5 (Autumn 2015) is a special issue on "Public Criminology II" guest-edited by Carrie Sanders and Lauren Eisler.TABLE OF CONTENTS: EDITORIAL / Jeff Shantz, "Time for Criminology: The Established is not Enough" -- FEATURED ARTICLES: PUBLIC CRIMINOLOGY II / Carrie B.

The Cleaners (2 book combo)His PrizeIt's the choice of her life-submit or die. When Susie Elliot stumbles into the middle of a clean-up, undertaken by none other than Ellis Reynolds, she expects her life to be over. No one disturbs this ruthlessly efficient killer and lives to tell the tale. The man they call Ren has no time for tender feelings, but there is something about the curvaceous redhead that calls to him. Rather than killing her he claims her as his prize. One night should be more than enough time to get her out of his system. However, Susie's submission means Ren has to confront emotions, completely alien to him. Killing is easy. This relationship thing is fraught with problems. When his criminal activities catch up with him, loyalties are tested to the max, and Susie has another choice to make-walk away, or stay and accept the darkness within. His to PunishRevenge or love...either choice will sacrifice her freedom. Dance teacher Jeanette MacArthur has one thing on her mind when she auditions for a job at La Masquerade-revenge. She couldn't protect her sister from the criminals she now seeks employment with, but she can ensure that justice prevails. If only her body wouldn't melt at the touch of one of them. Ty Mason, second-hand man of the Cleaners, oozes dominance, aggression, and danger. He stands for everything she ought to despise, yet this unwanted attraction threatens to ruin her. Ty can't take his eyes off the new dancer, not least because he senses the threat she represents. Only one thing for it-claim her for his own, and torture the secrets out of her-if need be. Her unwilling submission, however, means he discovers more than her secrets. His heart and their future are on the line.

"The term "interest" lacks a precise antonym. In English, we have "disinterested" and "uninteresting," but we want for a term that denotes robust opposition to interest. The same appears to hold true in every other language (as far as we know). Interest's missing antonym reflects not merely a widespread lexical oversight, but a misrecognition of interest's complete and exact meaning. More importantly, the idea that interest has no opposite expresses a certain refusal to acknowledge the power of the impulse to extinguish interest, for the self and for others. Why then do we foreclose interest's possibility, degrade our (and others') capacities to experience interest, and destroy interest's objects? Why do we decline what interest proffers - which includes creative and subjective being, thinking, and relating - in favor of more primitive modes of survival, thoughtlessness, and nonbeing? Why do relationships - with ourselves, with others, with objects - toward which genuine interest draws us seem sometimes, if not often, unbearable? These questions are difficult. Their answers, even more so. Misinterest: Essays, Pensâees, and Dreams attempts to approach them in an honest way, without making them fascinating, mysterious, boring, obscurantist, or fascinatingly mysteriously boringly obscurantist. Outwardly, Misinterest is concerned with dreams and forgetting and Eros and soaring dogs and groups and suicidal suburban teenagers and sex and jury duty and Nazis and fathers and hatred and holy parrots and fundamentalists and plagues and other things that may or may not be interesting. Ultimately, however, it seeks, like Jules Renard, "en restant exact" (in remaining true/real), to shed light on the establishment of misinterest, missingness, and mystery where and when they need not be, and, thus, on the psychic, familial, and political forces that compel us not to be when and where we ought"--

Down-on-her-luck college student Avery considers a call-girl career option.

Raised in privilege by her Caucasian mother and her African American father, Esther DuMont encounters tragedy and loss at an early age. Using language to paint the stunning scenery of Lake Superior's Apostle Islands, the gritty urban landscape of the Twin Cities and the rolling farmland of Central Iowa, Munger has created a tightly drawn contemporary fable.
