It is with great pleasure that we announce that Irit Ballas has won the 2022 Theoretical
Criminology best article prize for her work “Boundaries, obligations, and belonging: The
reconfiguration of citizenship in emergency criminal regimes.”Ballas analyzes how two
emergency criminal regimes enacted by the newly formed Israeli state in 1948 enabled it
to restrict citizens’rights and liberties that were set in ordinary criminal law. The first was
a military regime that sought to control and seize property from a subset of citizens (e.g.,
Palestinian minority), limiting their full membership in the political community. The
second was an austerity regime, geared towards all citizens, that established decrees clas-
sifying hoarding and illegal trading of food as criminal offenses, which aimed to reshape
ideas of mutual obligations and shared values among all in the political community. This
sophisticated and engaging article adds to our understanding of how states suspend the
protections of law enforcement and the courts and, as a result, can alter citizens’level
of belonging to the political community. We congratulate Irit Ballas on this award.
We are also pleased to announce some changes to the Journal. First of all, we would
