About the Journal
The title “Crime and Ethos” effectively captures the essence of our undergraduate journal by intertwining the study of criminology with the concept of ethos; the characteristic spirit of a culture or community as manifested in its beliefs. Our journal articulates an ethos that makes sense of undergraduate cultural and generational beliefs and understandings of crime, which is expressed through our journal, exclusively composed of undergraduate scholarship and thought. Readers can expect a thematic intersection of a critical examination in the discipline of criminology and the communication of undergraduate academic writing. Crime and Ethos encourages a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, appealing to research within the disciplines of students in fields such as legal studies, sociology, psychology, and other interrelated fields.
Crime & Ethos, Carleton Undergraduate Criminology Journal is the first of its kind at Carleton University. We are proudly supported by Carleton University, Faculty of Public and Global Affairs and the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
Crime and Ethos’ Mission Statement
