About the Journal
Launched in 2004, Champ pénal/Penal Field is a free, open access electronic periodical. Multidisciplinary, it publishes robust contributions promoting the analysis of the sociological, political, historical and legal discourses, instruments and practices shaping the penal field. Dedicated to bilingual publishing, it aims to facilitate an international academic dialogue; the journal accepts manuscript proposals and/or dossiers in either French or English. It also sponsors an active translation policy of the texts/issues published on its site. It is now supported by the INSHS of the CNRS. The articles are to be sent to champ.penal@gmail.com

Penal Field stands in solidarity with the strike initiated by French academic journals, in support of the inter-professional mobilisation against the pension reform project and the changes to public higher education and research announced by the French government.
We are a bilingual and international journal, as demonstrated by the composition of our executive and scientific committee. The present collective statement therefore aims to support the defense of rights whose status is challenged, in France as well as in other countries. This includes the working conditions and scientific autonomy in higher education and research.
As such, the normal course of the journal's activities is modified to contribute to the movement in various forms. This includes the collection and publication of testimonies of academics, in precarious and permanent positions, from different countries about ongoing trends in academia, that reflect broader structural changes. We will also participe in the development of common reflection and action with our colleagues from the other mobilised journals.

Le vingtième anniversaire de Champ Pénal/Penal Field
This special issue marks the twentieth anniversary of the academic journal Champ Pénal/Penal Field. It represents an opportunity to take a reflective look back at two decades of scientific production and editorial developments. In particular, this review has enabled us to identify a series of themes that have received little or no attention in our publications, yet which are significant for the journal as well as having a structuring effect on contemporary societies. Once these ‘omissions’ had been identified, it was a matter of confronting them rather than simply noting and deploring them. This is the ambition and originality of this atypical special issue, which deals with environmental crime, artificial intelligence and algorithmic surveillance, and the conceptual history of international crimes such as terrorism. As a result, such a special issue is certainly a perfect opportunity to celebrate collective work since 2004, but it is also, and above all, an opportunity to prepare for the coming years.
