Editorial Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Contestability in 2020, Vol. 53(1) 3–6 ! The Author(s) 2020 Article reuse guidelines: criminology sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0004865820912650 journals.sagepub.com/home/anj Andrew Goldsmith and Mark Halsey Flinders University, Australia The question we wish to pose as longstanding observers and contributors to the disci- pline of criminology (as well as editors of this journal) is this – is there sufficient space and structured opportunity presently within the scholarly practice of criminology for robust engagement with other perspectives within (and even outside of) criminology? Here, ‘sufficient’ refers not just to the chance for different points of view to be shared, but for those views also to be heard and considered, and for there to develop, at least from time to time, a shared consensus around the ‘better’ view of knowledge and under- standing on a particular topic. While criminology has offered, and can continue to offer, a range of critiques of existing practices and understandings, it ought, as many of its practitioners undoubtedly would endorse, to offer its audiences a strongly based con- ception of knowledge built upon the presentation of principles and propositions that have developed through presentation, contestation, and regard to the available evidence.
