"So what does all of this have to do with Criminology?": Surviving the Restructuring of the Discipline in the Twenty-First Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Le pr�sent commentaire renvoie � un article que les auteurs ont publi� en 1999 dans la Revue et o� ils ont �mis plusieurs observations sur l'�tat de la criminologie telle qu'elle se pratiquait au tournant du 21e si�cle dans les universit�s canadiennes. Ils pr�sentent un survol des tendances qui se sont manifest�es au cours des six derni�res ann�es et qui ont renforc� la polarisation des diff�rentes �coles de pens�e en criminologie ainsi que la renaissance des paradigmes classiques de la r�pression �tatique de la criminalit� et du maintien de l'ordre public (m�me s'ils sont log�s sous des banni�res dites novatrices telles que la gestion du risque, la criminologie computationnelle, la criminologie administrative et la cartographie de la criminalit�). Alors que des projets de recherche novateurs, progressistes et anti-h�g�moniques poursuivent leur essor dans plusieurs milieux, les structures de reconnaissance et de r�mun�ration des administrations universitaires et des milieux de recherche en criminologie militent massivement, et de plus en plus, en faveur de la � nouvelle orthodoxie � (r�-)�mergente. This commentary reflects back on an article that we published in the 1999 volume of this journal, which offered a number of observations about the condition of Canadian academic criminology at the turn of the new century. In this brief update, we consider some of the trends that have unfolded over the intervening six years, which have contributed to the continuing polarization of the discipline and the resurgence of traditional paradigms of state crime control and order maintenance (albeit under the purportedly new banners of risk management, computational criminology, administrative criminology, crime mapping, and the like). While innovative, progressive, and counter-hegemonic work continues to flourish in many quarters, the reward structures of twenty-first-century corporate university systems and criminological research environments militate overwhelmingly, and increasingly, in favour of the (re)ascendant "new orthodoxy."

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
