Click here for Call for Papers
ASIAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY Back to Top
The Asian Journal Criminology aims to advance the study of criminology
and criminal justice in Asia, to promote evidence-based public policy in
crime prevention, and to promote comparative studies about crime and criminal
justice. The Journal provides a platform for criminologists, policy-makers,
and practitioners and welcomes manuscripts relating to crime, crime prevention,
criminal law, medico-legal topics and the administration of criminal justice
in Asian countries. The Journal especially encourages theoretical and methodological
papers with an emphasis on evidence-based, empirical research addressing
crime in Asian contexts. It seeks to publish research arising from a broad
variety of methodological traditions, including quantitative, qualitative,
historical, and comparative methods. The Journal fosters a multi-disciplinary
focus and welcomes manuscripts from a variety of disciplines, including
criminology, criminal justice, law, sociology, political science, psychology,
forensic science, social work, urban studies, history, geography, and anthropology
The journal seeks four types of articles for each issue and the word
length recommended is for guidance only:
Original research articles (length 5,000-8,000 words).
Research Notes: designed to capture shorter manuscripts that contain
valuable ideas and findings but are too limited in some aspects to be qualified
as a fully developed research article. This feature is especially
useful to address our aims of helping to disseminate important findings
or ideas from Asian authors to be presented to international audience (length
approx. 3000-5000 words).
Practice Notes: these practice notes are primarily designed as an information
resource about major non-English publications or Asian government reports
(in the form of an English abstract or summary), criminology related organizations,
societies, conferences, educational programs, major policy events, criminal
cases, new legislation and other regional information for a world wide
audience. The Practice Note will also include book reviews until
such time as the journal can ascertain the feasibility of establishing
a regular book review section (word length approx. 800-2000).
Book reviews dealing with topics relating to Asia or the Asian diaspora.
Although we would welcome submissions at any time, initially two issues
per volume will be produced with March 31 and September 30 deadlines.
Submit manuscripts electronically to either the Editor (Rod Broadhurst; r.broadhurst@qut.edu.au),
or the Managing Editor (Lena Zhong ylzhong@cityu.edu.hk).
Submit book reviews to Dr Eric Chui w.chui@uq.edu.au).
Manuscripts that need to be submitted by post should be sent to the Journals
postal address along with an electronic version in Microsoft Word on floppy
or compact disk. Authors should be guided by the APA style although
manuscripts prepared in conventional legal style can be accepted.

CONTEMPORARY JUSTICE REVIEW
Back to Top
The editors of Contemporary Justice Review wish to extend an invitation to authors to share your recent work on critical issues of crime, punishment, and justice. CJR is an interdisciplinary journal for scholars, activists, and practitioners of social and restorative justice around the globe who seek to design and implement models of justice that take into account the needs of all.
The journal publishes cutting-edge work on: social and restorative justice theory; restorative justice demonstration projects; peacemaking criminology; state crimes and healing from genocide; peaceful methods of conflict resolution; truth and reconciliation commissions; environmental justice; critiques of criminal justice institutions and law; structural issues of justice in the family, school, and workplace; utopian visions of a just society; and non-violent, needs-meeting solutions to needs-denying, power-based social arrangements.
More specifically we are looking for work that examines the harm that power-based social, political, economic, and religious arrangements cause to human, animal, and natural life. This might include work focusing on the gross human rights violations of nation-states as well as globalizing corporate entities; it might include a critique of criminological paradigms that support, wink at, or carelessly sidestep such violations of life and human dignity. We are also interested in critical assessments of the media with respect to their narrow-sightedness regarding who is and who is not a victim worthy of the attention of the human community.
CJR embraces a variety of formats: scholarly articles; electronic roundtable discussions; interviews on social and restorative justice; narrative histories on crime and punishment; film and book review essays; and justice watch statements on timely issues that affect the quality of life around the globe. The editors prefer articles written in engaging and accessible prose which avoid academic jargon and offer insights in how to foster justice in daily life.
Those interested in submitting work to CJR should contact Assistant Editor, Diane Simmons Williams, at dsw27@earthlink.net for the journal’s Managing Editor’s Guidelines. We usually prefer articles around 25 typed, double-spaced pages but often enough accept larger pieces when appropriate. One full copy of the submission should be accompanied by a blind copy in anticipation of the reviewing process. Those with questions about the fit between their work and the philosophy of the journal can contact CJR Editor-in-Chief, Dennis Sullivan at dsullivan6@nycap.rr.com or any of the associate editors. We look forward to hearing from you. Incidentally, Contemporary Justice Review is the “official” journal of the Justice Studies Association (www.justicestudies.org).

Papers suitable for CPP not only present their findings but also explore the policy-relevant implications of those findings. Appropriate papers (1) empirically evaluate criminal justice policy or practice, (2) provide scientific support for new policies or practices, or (3) review existing research from a policy framework. CPP welcomes papers that address international criminal justice policy issues. All articles published in CPP are followed by one or more ‘policy essays’ in which subject matter experts further discuss the policy issues raised in the empirical paper. Policy essays are invited essays that appear in the journal immediately following the lead article on which they are based. An electronic copy of the manuscript should be emailed as an attachment to cpp@fsu.edu You will receive an emailed acknowledgment of receipt for the submission. All submissions must be accompanied by a $10 nonrefundable processing fee payable to the American Society of Criminology (papers authored solely by student members of the ASC exempted), which should be sent to the Editors. International authors should contact the ASC office (asc@asc41.com; 614-292-9207) if this fee arrangement presents an obstacle.

CRITICAL CRIMINOLOGY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Back to Top
Critical Criminology is the official journal of the Division of Critical
Criminology of the American Society of Criminology. The journal deals with
questions of social, political and economic justice. Critical Criminology
is for academics and researchers with an interest in anarchistic, cultural,
feminist, integrative, Marxist, peace-making, postmodernist and left-realist
criminology. The journal does not limit the scope of the inquiry to state
definitions of crime and welcomes work focusing on issues of social harm
and social justice, including those exploring the intersecting lines of
class, gender, race/ethnicity and heterosexism. The journal is of interest
for all persons with an interest in alternative methodologies and theories
in criminology, including chaos theory, non-linear analysis, and complex
systems science as it pertains to the study of crime and criminal justice.
The journal encourages works that focus on creative and cooperative solutions
to justice problems, plus strategies for the construction of a more inclusive
society.
Manuscripts should be approximately 6,000 to 8,000 words (including
tables, illustrations, notes and references). Please send four hard copies

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS/SAGE REFERENCE Back to Top
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new 1-volume reference work on the social history and status of community corrections in the United States.
The alternative of community corrections has evolved to become a substantial part of the criminal justice and correctional system, spurred in recent years not so much by a progressive, humane philosophy as by dramatically increasing prison populations, court orders to “fix” over-extended prison settings, and an economic search for cost savings in the correctional system. Some 200 signed entries are organized in A-to-Z fashion, with topics including: historical, philosophical, social, and legal foundations of community corrections; modes of community corrections; legislation related to sentencing and community corrections; implementation, administration, and assessment of programs; offender supervision; selection and training of officers and their relationships with offender-clients; effectiveness and risks of community correction programs and recidivism; public opinion, crime victims, media portrayals, and fears; and juveniles, women, and special-needs populations of offenders.
We are now making assignments due October 1, 2010.
This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital product available to students via the library’s online services. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Shannon Barton-Bellessa, Indiana State University.
If you are interested in contributing to this outstanding reference, it is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, defining historical issues for today’s students. Moreover, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product or access to the online product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with the Encyclopedia of Community Corrections, please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related issues.
Thank you,

1. The review will be independent from any public or private institution,
however, it may develop a close co-operation with the French Association
of Criminology, provided the latter agrees with the concept.
2. The review will be digital (internet), nonetheless, we’re considering
publishing regularly a bunch of articles in traditional books (creation
of a collection, with an editor, entitled identically).
3. The review will welcome French, and maybe English, articles,
preferably in those two languages.
4. It will concern all the disciplines of the criminological field
(sociology and its co-disciplines, law, medicine and sciences of
psyche ).
5. An international editorial comity will be in charge of selecting
the articles, it will be constituted – and administered – so as to guarantee
the scientific quality of the articles in the different domains of competence
while encouraging multi-disciplinarity.
6. Particular attention will be paid to issues of professional
ethics in the running of both the editorial comity and the review as a
whole.
7. The elaboration of the implementation rules will be the object
of a wide consultation of the scientific community in question/concerned.
8. The comity will operate via internet.
9. The review will chiefly be concerned with scientific studies,
however, it will also include a Debate section, distinct from the others,
and much more open (predominantly to the experiences of the partakers in
the criminological field, but also to ideological debates, current affairs
and so forth).
10. Any reaction from you to this personal project will, of course,
be welcome.
Looking forward to sharing this adventure soon,

HANDBOOK OF POLICE PSYCHOLOGY Back to Top
Dear Criminal Justice Professional:
As you may know, I am completing a Forensic Psychology textbook for Prentice-Hall which will be released in spring 2010. But I have been fortunate also to be offered to be the editor of a new Handbook of Police Psychology which will be put out by Routledge - see www.psypress.com. One of my functions is to find about 40 qualified authors who would like to write chapters related to police psychology. These authors could be professors (most are), researchers, and practitioners in criminal justice, psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, police science, administration of justice, sociology, etc. Would you have any interest in perhaps writing a chapter for this text? The possible topics are “wide open” as long as they relate to, or can be made to relate to, police psychology. I will be generating a list of possible topics, but just a few examples would be pre-employment psychological screening, working with special police squads, helping officers or their families deal with stress and post-traumatic stress disorder, post-shooting debriefing, critical incident debriefing, short-term psychotherapy, hostage negotiations, working with the mentally ill subject, leadership issues, organizational consultation, gender stereotypes in police work, dealing with the gay community, co-dependency, substance abuse, domestic violence, road rage, cross-cultural psychology, fitness-for duty, trauma psychology, grief, violence, etc.
I will be traveling to NYC on February 20 to meet with the publishers and would like to have possible names and topics for them at that time. No commitment is required at this point from you. But this would be a great opportunity for a publication in a book that will sell thousands upon thousands of copies nationally and internationally (especially in the UK and Israel) and that is distributed by a very highly respected publisher. I really would appreciate any input, volunteers, help, or advice. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Jack

of
legal services at all levels, understanding and utilizing the intricate
maze that is the contemporary legal system, and the availability of
judicial remedies. Possible topics include financial and structural
barriers, the impact of alternative dispute resolution, and judicial
and
legislative challenges.
We invite you to contribute your perspectives on this topic. Please

EDITORIAL BOARD
Submissions
JRP only considers original, unpublished manuscripts not under review by other journals. Manuscripts should be 20 to 30 pages in length, double-spaced, and include an abstract of 50-100 words. We prefer graphics in either jpeg or tiff files, placed at the end of the manuscript, along with any tables, with call-outs in the text to indicate placement. References and citations as well as general manuscript format should conform to the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
JRP considers three types of articles:
- Research Articles should contain a literature review, description of the methodology, description of results, and a conclusion. The relevance of the findings to the formation of policy should be specifically addressed.
- Policy Articles should contain a statement of the problem that prompted the investigation, a review of other policy or practice concerned with the same issue, and a description of the steps taken to understand and solve the problem. A conclusion should address the implications of the findings and/or the impact of the investigation on policy. References may or may not be needed.
- Research Notes are brief articles with a smaller focus. Literature reviews are not necessarily required, although some background to place the research in context is needed.
Please send all manuscripts and questions to nmichel@jrsa.org.

JUSTICE SYSTEM JOURNAL Back to Top
The Justice System Journal, sponsored by the National Center for
State Courts, will be publishing a special issue on aspects of capital
punishment; the likely publication date is late 2008. The journal’s
editors would be interested in receiving proposals –from academics and
practitioners alike– for possible articles for that special issue.
A list of possible topics appears below; most relate to courts and actors
in the courts, but suggestions for other topics will be considered.
The journal does not publish normative or philosophical work nor extended
analyses of case law. There are no restrictions on the types of methodology
used, but use of elaborate statistics in the final articles is discouraged.
Prospective authors are reminded that, although academics read the
Justice System Journal, the journal’s primary audience is court administrators
and other court practitioners.
We specify no particular manuscript length but would prefer that articles
be no longer than thirty (30) double-spaced pages, inclusive of tables
and references; use of footnotes should be minimal. The likely deadline
for submission of manuscripts will be early 2008.
Anyone interested should communicate by e-mail with the present editor-in-chief,
at wasb@albany.edu, and should indicate
the proposed topic. It is preferable that prospective authors send a brief
proposal/abstract/precis approximately two paragraphs in length, which
should also indicate the proposed length of the article manuscript. An
initial inquiry about topic appropriateness may be made and is welcomed.
Prospective authors should provide some information about their training
and experience.
