Excellent.
And this is while human geography continues to have a huge gap between the critical and radical intent of many of its scholars, and the tendency to place the vast majority of work in the journals [now] owned by 5 major commercial publishers, usually leaving our universities with a large subscription bill [or us with a high APC to pay]. Added to the list. https://simonbatterbury.wordpress.com/2015/10/25/list-of-decent-open-access-journals
From the Editorial: " Why a New Journal in Criminology?
Contemporary researchers are spoiled with a wide range of excellent journals in criminology. However, we do believe this new publishing forum will be a great contribution to academia for multiple reasons. First of all, Criminological Encounters is an independent and open-access journal. Our content does not hide behind expensive, and at many times inaccessible, pay-walls. Secondly, this journal has a policy of equality that takes into account not only issues of gender, religion, or racial/ethnic background, but also makes an effort to counter as much as possible colonialist approaches in academia. As mentioned, contributions from outside the “Global North” are particularly welcome. Thirdly, this is a journal that openly adheres to the “slow science” movement. Our focus will never be on the quantity of papers published but on their quality. In the same vein, this journal will not obsessively care about metrics, rankings, and indicators. We want the so-called “impact” of our journal to be “measured” in an purpose-driven way, not based so much on how many times our articles are cited in other journals or books, but rather on the “why” they are cited. Having said that, our aim is to become a well cited, leading interdisciplinary journal that publishes cutting-edge research. Lastly, being a new journal will allow us to experiment freely with new topics, methods and formats less common in mainstream criminology. We aim to keep such an exploratory verve even when the journal reaches its maturity. http://criminologicalencounters.org.crisresearchgroup.be/index.php/crimenc/article/view/CE18010101/pdf

Why Criminological Encounters?
The fundamental idea behind this journal is that of "encountering". An "encounter" evokes the idea of solidary gatherings, moments to get together and build common projects as well as moments of confrontation. The encounters we intend to foment here include:
* Dialogues between criminology and other disciplines;
* Dialogues between criminology scholars and practitioners;
* Encounters between competing research methods, theories or between different schools of thought: e.g. qualitative versus quantitative approaches; critical versus positivistic criminology; American versus European criminology; criminology from the “Global South” and from the “Global North”.

Understanding Fear and Unease in Open Domains: Toward a Typology for Deviant Behaviour in Public Space
by S.F. Meyer
This article promotes an encounter between criminology and urban studies by presenting a comprehensive classification of categories of crime and deviance in public spaces. The presented typology is a reminder that the encounter between social reality and scientific practice is not without problems.
