Now Indexed in the Social Science Citation Index Expanded®

Criminology & Criminal Justice is a leading, peer reviewed journal of original research and thinking in the field. The journal seeks to reflect the vibrancy of the disciplines of criminology and criminal justice throughout the UK and internationally. It publishes work of the highest quality and academic rigour from around the world and across all areas of criminology and criminal justice. It is interdisciplinary in nature, and is devoted to providing an international forum for critical debate and policy discussions of criminological and criminal justice research findings. As the official journal of the British Society of Criminology, Criminology & Criminal Justice encourages the submission of articles that are of interest to an international and/or British readership. Some of the key types of articles which form the focus of the journal will include:

• original conceptual articles on crime, its prevention and control
• empirical studies, including those of criminological research findings, criminal justice policy-making and the implementation of laws, processes and criminal justice
• analyses of international crimes and criminal justice institutions and policy transfer, as well as evaluations of significant developments in criminal justice practices
• debates about the public role of criminology and criminologists.

"This journal addresses key issues facing the future of criminal justice, and will be a major venue for presenting the best evidence on those issues as it emerges from new research." Lawrence W. Sherman, University of Pennsylvania, USA.

"Internationally, criminal justice is one of the fastest growing areas of social science. This journal, with its first-rate editorial board and impressive record of scholarship, has rapidly become a must-read for any scholar interested in international or comparative criminology and criminal justice." Todd Clear, Distinguished Professor of Law and Police Science, John Jay College, City University of New York, USA

"In its broad coverage of a broad field, and in its publication of articles by criminologists of distinction from across the world, Criminology and Criminal Justice, formerly Criminal Justice, has established itself nationally and internationally as one of the leading journals in the discipline." Professor Paul Rock, London School of Economics, UK
