A serious advancement in public criminology. Criminologists in the Media sheds much needed light on why certain kinds of criminologists appear more regularly in the media by identifying and unpacking key factors that considerably influence media engagement including the use of social media among criminologists and criminal justice scholars. This timely book will be of general interest to readers seeking to learn about media engagement and especially of interest to criminology scholars and students who want to know more about the dynamics that underpin the publicization of research in the media.

Why do Criminologists engage with news and social media? And what are the dilemmas of such engagements? In Criminologists in the Media the authors expertly dissect these concerns, situating them within the broader social, political and economic imperatives of contemporary academia in a digital age. The result is a compelling and informed analysis of public criminology through the lens of 'newsmaking' and the impact of research within, and for, broader publics. Criminologists in the Media is a critical resource for established and emerging scholars alike, as they reflect on their own public engagements and the impacts of these for academia more widely.
-Anastasia Powell, RMIT University
Criminologists in the Media is an eye-opening text about the conditions that shape expert commentaries about crime and criminal justice in the media. Relatable and insightful in prose, the book maps wider social changes affecting how criminologists engage with media. The authors skilfully bring together theory and empirical research to advance debates about public criminology specifically and public social science generally. It is a must read for anyone interested in understanding how shifts in academia and the media influence what knowledge becomes publicly accessible.
