In 2015, queer theorist Heather Love called for her fellow queer scholars to recognise the centrality of the study of norms and deviance to ‘the intellectual genealogy’ of queer studies. She argued that queer approaches and understandings, with their ‘embrace of a politics of stigma’ and ‘reliance on a general category of social marginality’, were ‘borrowed’ from mid-20th century social science studies of deviance (Love, 2015: 75). For most criminologists, it is axiomatic that this tradition is equally central to our own genealogy, and our concerns with deviance, normativity, social control and the production of power and marginalisation. Despite this shared set of concerns, queer theory and criminology have little contemporary crossover. We share Love’s concern around this state of affairs, but where she is primarily concerned about the stakes for queer studies, the focus of our Special Issue is on what criminologists can gain from greater engagement with the analytic and conceptual tools of queer theory.

客座社论：酷儿理论和犯罪学

2015 年，酷儿理论家希瑟·洛夫 (Heather Love) 呼吁她的酷儿学者同行们认识到规范研究的中心地位，以及对酷儿研究“知识谱系”的偏离。她认为，酷儿的方法和理解，以及他们“对耻辱政治的拥抱”和“对社会边缘的一般类别的依赖”，是从 20 世纪中叶的社会科学研究越轨行为“借用”的（Love，2015：75 ）。对于大多数犯罪学家来说，不言而喻的是，这一传统对于我们自己的谱系以及我们对越轨、规范、社会控制以及权力生产和边缘化的关注同样处于核心地位。尽管有这些共同的担忧，酷儿理论和犯罪学在当代几乎没有交叉。我们和 Love 一样关心这种事态，
