AFRICAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY AND JUSTICE STUDIES Back to Top

The African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies, an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal, invites contributions on issues relevant to criminology, social and justice systems of interest to Africans at home and the African Diaspora globally. Comparative studies or research on related fields, and pedagogical papers on how to develop criminology and criminal justice education in Africa are particularly welcome. The journal accepts research articles, policy analyses, commentaries or brief research notes. Particularly, it encourages articles on innovative theoretical, methodological and policy interventions that deepen the understanding of how to prevent or repair the crimes against humanity that people of African descent have suffered and how to reverse the crisis of over-representation that people of African descent continue to suffer in correctional institutions around the world.

ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF POLICE & CRIMINAL JUSTICE Back to Top

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).

 CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICY REVIEW Back to Top
Special Issue: Policing for Homeland Security

Submission Deadline: May 1, 2008

 Criminal Justice Policy Review (SAGE Publications) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal publishing articles written by scholars committed to the study of criminal justice policy through experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental approaches. The journal is published quarterly and accepts appropriate articles, essays, research notes, and book reviews. It also provides a forum for occasional special issues on notable topics in crime and justice. The journal appeals to criminologists, criminal justice researchers, sociologists, public administrators, and practitioners with an interest in criminal justice policy. For general information about Criminal Justice Policy Review, please go to http://cjp.sagepub.com.

The journal is currently soliciting manuscripts for a special issue on policing for homeland security. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in the United States have taken on new responsibilities, and the role of policing continues to evolve as a viable component of the overall national strategy for homeland security. Little research, however, identifies emerging policing strategies, their relationship and/or application to the national strategy for homeland security, and corresponding policy implications. Manuscripts considered for publication in this special issue could focus on a variety of topics, including (but not limited to): (1) adaptation of community policing and/or problem-oriented policing to homeland security; (2) law enforcement organizational transformation consistent with the overall national strategy for homeland security; (3) interagency cooperation for homeland security; (4) innovations in policing delivery of service models and policy consistent with the overall national strategy for homeland security; and, (5) policing for homeland security program evaluations.

Manuscripts considered for publication in this special issue could focus on a variety of topics, including (but not limited to): (a) situational crime prevention impact research studies; (b) situational crime prevention typologies; (c) theoretical perspectives and situational crime prevention; and, (d) innovations in situational crime prevention.

CRIMINAL LAW BULLETIN Back to Top

West's Criminal Law Bulletin is an authoritative source for guidance and insight from renowned experts on the latest developments and trends in the field. Published six times per year, the Criminal Law Bulletin reports on all of the major federal, state, and Supreme Court decisions in every phase of criminal law.  It also has peer-reviewed journal articles devoted to scholarship concerning any and all matters of criminal law, criminal procedure, and criminal/forensic evidence.  Additionally, each edition of the journal contains book reviews and a column entitled "From the Legal Literature"  which provides a summary and critique of two or three recent scholarly articles concerning a common theme or topic concerning criminal law, procedure, or evidence.  The journal is available both in print and electronically on Westlaw,® as well as various other databases.

Submissions are now being accepted for upcoming "From the Legal Literature" columns. The column is much like a traditional book review, except it reviews recent pieces of legal scholarship rather than books.  Submissions may be on any common theme or topic within the broad spectrum of criminal law, criminal procedure, or criminal/forensic evidence.  Recent column topics have included reviews such as "Making Sense of the Proportionality Principle and the Eighth Amendment," "Continued Erosion of the Fourth Amendment Rights of Students," "Unraveling Crawford v. Washington in Abuse Cases," "Evolving Issues Under Miranda," and "Competing Views on the Quagmire of Synthetically Restoring Competency to Be Executed."

Submissions should begin with a short summary (2-6 double-spaced pages) of the issue or topic being reviewed.  Authors should then summarize and critique two or three recent pieces of legal scholarship (usually scholarly law review articles) that address the given issue or topic, preferably from different perspectives.  The legal citation style of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed., 2005) must be used, and citations should be in footnotes that appear at the bottom of each page, rather than as endnotes.  The total length of a "From the Legal Literature" column should be between 16 and 22 double-spaced pages, including footnotes.  Manuscripts are only accepted electronically in either Corel WordPerfect® or Microsoft Word® format.  Submissions from law students, graduate students, and exceptional undergraduate criminal justice students are encouraged.  Send submission to Dr. Henry F.

FRENCH REVIEW OF CRIMINOLOGY Back to Top

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,
