Eamonn Carrabine is Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. His books include Crime in Modern Britain (co-authored, 2002); Power, Discourse and Resistance: A Genealogy of the Strangeways Prison Riot (2004); Crime, Culture and the Media (2008); and Crime and Social Theory (2017). He has published widely on media criminology, the sociology of punishment, and cultural theory. The textbook he co-authors with colleagues from the University of Essex, Criminology: A Sociological Introduction, is now in its fourth edition. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the British Journal of Criminology and is writing a book on the Iconography of Punishment.Anna Di Ronco is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the Sociology Department of the University of Essex and Director for its Centre for Criminology. Her research critically addresses the dynamics of exclusion and penalisation in the public space as well as performative, visual, and mediated practices of resistance. Her books include Policing Environmental Protest: Power and Resistance in Pandemic Times (2023); Criminology: A Sociological Introduction (co-authored; 2020, 4th ed.); Harm and Disorder in the Urban Space: Social Control, Sense and Sensibility (co-edited; 2021); and Medical Misinformation and Social Harm in Non-Science Based Health Practices: A Multidisciplinary Perspective (co-edited; 2020).

“This book, while celebrating the remarkable career of Dr Nigel South, one of the key thinkers in contemporary criminology, is no ordinary Festschrift. For, given Dr South’s long career at the cutting-edge of debates within criminology, it features a series of fascinating essays that are both informative, in terms of the core issues within policing, drugs research, green, southern, and sensory criminology, and conceptually at the forefront of the discipline. By focusing on Dr South's contributions, the collection is also illustrative of the importance of the biographical turn within criminology – the need to place individual thinkers within current debates and the development of the discipline.”-Prof Jayne Mooney, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center, CUNY.This book is a wonderful tribute to the continuing influence of Nigel South on the development of green criminology. It shows him to be a scholar-activist of the highest magnitude. I am fortunate indeed to count him as a colleague.-Piers Beirne, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Legal Studies, University of Southern Maine.“This is an inspiring collection of essays celebrating the path breaking intellectual trajectory of Nigel South. The nature of festschrifts implies some backward-looking review of past achievements. The exceptional feature of this volume, reflecting the pioneering character of Nigel South’s work over several decades and numerous areas of criminology, is that its contributions are vital for understanding the futures of not just criminal justice but the world itself. Nigel South has been the foundational research, policy, and analytic voice in critical approaches to policing, drug markets, international law enforcement and green criminology. This book’s editors have assembled an impressive array of diverse and distinguished authors. The result is not only a wonderful celebration of Nigel South. It is a vital contribution to understanding the crises facing the globe.”-Robert Reiner, Emeritus Professor of Criminology, London School of Economics.“This exceptional collection of essays is the ideal tribute to Nigel’s pioneering scholarship, intellectual generosity and distinguished contributions to criminology spanning over four decades. The book exemplifies the best of the socially engaged criminological tradition and will no doubt inspire scholars and practitioners across the global North and South for years to come.”-Professor Maggy Lee, Department of Sociology, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
