The Australian and New Zealand Critical Criminology Conference promotes critical and analytical perspectives on crime and justice. The Conference fosters dialogue beyond traditional boundaries of the discipline of criminology, with theoretically informed and politically committed criminologists engaging with current issues in crime and crime control. The Conference showcases ground-breaking research of internationally renowned and widely published critical criminologists from Australia and New Zealand.

The Institute of Criminology at the University of Sydney, in partnership with the School of Social Sciences at the University of Western Sydney, hosted the Conference in 2010. The 2010 Proceedings are edited by Associate Professor Gail Mason, University of Sydney; Dr Murray Lee, University of Sydney; and Dr Sanja Milivojevic, University of Western Sydney.
