BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES AND LAW Back to Top
Special Issue: Measuring and Interpreting the Predictive Validity of Violence Risk Assessment
Behavioral Sciences and Law invites submissions for a forthcoming special issue on Measuring and Interpreting the Predictive Validity of Violence Risk Assessment.
The field of violence risk assessment has expanded rapidly over the past several decades, resulting in the development of a number of structured risk assessment tools. While there is a substantial literature on these instruments, few articles have been published to guide researchers in the measurement of their predictive validity and the interpretation of such findings. Further, a debate has begun to emerge concerning the predictive validity of risk assessment tools when applied to individual cases, and methodological advances may be needed in this area. To address these gaps, this special issue aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible resource for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers interested in the measurement of predictive validity or the use of such findings in clinical or legal practice.
We invite empirical and conceptual papers on the measurement of predictive validity as it relates to violence risk assessment. In addition, papers focusing on the implications of the measurement of predictive validity for public protection and individual liberty are also welcome, as are legal perspectives on these issues.
Papers should be no longer than 35 pages, inclusive of all tables, figures and references. References should be in American Psychological Association style. The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2012. Please send two electronic copies of the submission, one blinded for peer review, to John Petrila, J.D., LL.M., University of South Florida (petrila@usf.edu) or Jay P. Singh, Ph.D., University of South Florida (jaysingh@usf.edu), the guest editor for this issue.
Behavioral Sciences & the Law is a peer reviewed journal which provides current and comprehensive information from throughout the world on topics at the interface of the law and the behavioral sciences. Appealing to clinicians, academics, researchers, and policymakers, the journal balances theoretical, mental health, legal, and research writings to provide a broad perspective on pertinent psycho-legal topics. Most issues are devoted primarily to one special topic, often presented from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

CENTER FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REMEDIES Back to Top
The Center for Civil Rights Remedies (CCRR) at the Civil Rights Project, in collaboration with the Research-to-Practice Collaborative on Race and Gender Disparities in School Discipline, seeks research papers that will inform school discipline policies at the district, state, and federal levels.
Approximately fifteen research papers will be selected for presentation at a national conference on understanding and addressing race and gender disparities in school discipline, to be held in Washington D.C. in November or December of 2012. The national conference will be followed by a federal briefing for members of Congress and the publication of papers in an edited volume. Previous conference-related books include, “Racial Inequity in Special Education” and “Dropouts in America,” both Harvard Education Press publications. The ultimate goal of the papers is to foster policies and practices that reduce schools’ reliance on suspension and expulsion to manage student behavior, with special attention to reducing disparities.
A complete description of the project and the detailed call for papers, including submission requirements and honoraria, is obtained here: http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/school-discipline/call-for-papers-research-to-inform-policymakers-with-a-focus-on-race-and-gender-disparities-in-school-discipline

CONTEMPORARY JUSTICE REVIEW Back to Top
Special Issue: Critical White Studies in Crime & Justice
Final Deadline: August 1, 2013
Contemporary Justice Review is calling for innovative papers on “Critical White Studies in Crime & Justice” for a special topics issue of the journal. Through this nuanced field of study, this issue hopes to sharpen the discussion of race, crime and justice with a particular focus on white identities, whiteness, and racial formation. The intent of this issue is to cultivate discussions that place race, particularly whiteness, at the core of social analyses of crime and justice issues such as mass incarceration, racial profiling, border patrols, and state/corporate crime. As a way to push beyond mainstream examinations of the race-crime dynamic, we invite papers that turn the focus on whiteness and white identity to understand racializing and criminalizing processes, criminal behavior, and other justice issues.
Contemporary Justice Review prefers articles written in engaging and accessible prose which avoids academic jargon and that offers insights in how to foster justice throughout daily life. Potential topics - as they relate to the critical study of whiteness - could include: policing and white identities, media and whiteness, white criminality, white identity in prison, state-corporate crime, immigration law, gender and crime, hate/bias crime, boundary theory/boundary work and crime, and applied/public criminology. Any other related research is welcome for consideration.
Contemporary Justice Review is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed 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.
Interested authors should send abstracts/manuscripts/questions to Special Topics Issue co-editors: Justin Smith (smith61j@cmich.edu) and Travis Linneman (tlinnema@odu.edu) by January 10, 2013. Authors whose work has been selected will be notified by February 1, 2013. Complete manuscripts will be due by August 1, 2013 for inclusion in the special issue of the journal. Queries about the appropriateness of specific topics should be directed to the guest editors, Justin Smith or Travis Linneman, or Dan Okada (dokada@csus.edu) Editor-in-Chief of Contemporary Justice Review.

Special Issue: Anarchism as a Foundation for Justice
Final Deadline: December 31, 2013
The Editors and Advisory Board of Contemporary Justice Review are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a special issue on “Anarchism as a Foundation for Justice.”
We welcome papers that focus on the theory of anarchism as it relates to justice as well as on practices that serve to meet the needs of all in different social situations. We regard anarchism as a needs-based perspective on social life whose aims are best achieved through nonviolent means.
Articles might suggest or outline anarchist strategies for fostering families, schools, and places of work that take into account the needs of all, structurally as well as in the daily practices of those involved in these social arrangements. Articles focusing more broadly on economic and sociopolitical issues as they impact the principles and processes of justice are also welcome.
Authors might wish to highlight a variety of aspects of social life that reflect anarchist principles: (1) organizations (e.g., Food Not Bombs, War Resisters League, Catholic Worker); (2) publishing (e.g., Black Rose Books; AK Press); (3) personages (e.g., Peter Kropotkin, Noam Chomsky, Dorothy Day); (4) works of literature (e.g., Woman on the Edge of Time, The Dispossessed); (5) fine arts (e.g., John Cage, Merce Cunningham); (6) schools (e.g., Black Mountain, Summerhill, The Modern School); (7) social movements (e.g., women’s movements, Spanish Civil War, Occupy); (8) business and cooperatives (e.g., Mondragon, Red and Black Café, Red Emma’s); (9) “religion” (e.g., mysticism, Christian anarchism, Taoism); (10) intentional communities (e.g., Twin Oaks, Whiteway Colony); and (11) murals and street art (e.g., Banksy, Anarchists of the Americas).
We are also looking for contexualizing reviews of: (1) anarchist literature (e.g., Mutual Aid, Homage To Catalonia, Anarchism Today); (2) film (e.g., “Antifa: Chasseur de Skins,” “Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media,” “Life and Debt,” “Libertarias,”); (3) cartoonists (e.g., Stephanie McMillan); and (4) musicians (e.g., Utah Phillips, “Emma’s Revolution”).
We will also gladly welcome any work on the ecology movement, animal rights movement, local food movement, sustainable agriculture movement, and/or restorative justice movement. We encourage authors to write in an accessible and engaging style that is free of academic jargon.
Those wishing to participate in the issue(s) should send a title and abstract (250 words or fewer) to CJR Assistant Editor G. Hamilton Gray by April 15, 2013.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE REVIEW Back to Top
2014 Special Issue: Drugs, Crime, & Goldstein’s Tripartite Framework
Submission Deadline: December 15th, 2013
Criminal Justice Review (CJR) invites submissions for a special issue, “Drugs, Crime, & Goldstein’s Tripartite Framework,” to be guest edited by Dr. Scott Jacques. Almost 30 years ago, Paul Goldstein published a seminal article in which he suggests an elegant and powerful idea, namely that drugs and violence are related in three ways that he termed the psychopharmacological, economic compulsive, and systemic models. Since its debut, this idea has served as a spring board and organizing framework for hundreds if not thousands of studies into the link between drugs and violence and, more broadly, crime. The purpose of this special issue is to review and synthesize what has been learned thus far about the drugs-violence/crime models, and also to carve out original and fruitful paths for further inquiry. Consideration will be given to papers that accomplish one or both of those goals. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. Manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages double-spaced excluding tables, figures, and references. An abstract of approximately 200 words and a biographical sketch must accompany the manuscript. Submissions must arrive no later than December 15, 2013. Authors must send two electronic copies of the manuscript, one full version (with cover page containing the author’s name, title, institutional contact information; acknowledgments; grant numbers; and the date, location, and conference at which the manuscript may have been presented), and one blind copy (minus all identifying information) to Dr. Jacques at sjacques1@gsu.edu. Manuscripts should be in MS Word and adhere to the formatting style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) and CJR formatting guidelines.

GLOBAL CRIME Back to Top
Special Issue: Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism: Different Peas, Same Pod?
Submission Deadline: November, 15th 2013
Guest Editors: Helena Carrapico (University of Dundee), Daniela Irrera (University of Catania) and Bill Tupman (University of Exeter).
In recent years, the United Nations and European institutions have recurrently underlined their growing concern towards the threat posed by potential and existing collusions between organised criminals and terrorist groups. The European Parliament and Europol, in particular, have recently alerted to the degree of dangerousness that both organised crime and terrorism currently represent in the world, highlighting that the cooperation or merger between these two phenomena is of urgent contemporary interest. Academic literature in this area, however, remains scarce and characterized not only by a degree of skepticism, but also by a lack of interdisciplinarity. Bearing in mind this gap in the literature, the guest editors of the Special Issue wish to contribute to this field of expertise by gathering a number of interdisciplinary case-studies that will engage with the concept of crime-terror nexus. The guest editors therefore welcome articles aiming at: enriching the empirical knowledge on the nature of the crime-terror nexus and its evolution throughout the world; exploring the impact of the nexus within different economic, political and societal contexts; and expanding on its theoretical conceptualization.
The deadline for the submission of the articles is November, 15th 2013. Authors are encouraged to contact the guest editors with early expressions of interest. Please contact Helena Carrapico through the following e-mail address: helena.carrapico@eui.eu

JONES & BARTLETT CRIME TYPES BOOK SERIES Back to Top
Call for Book Proposal
Jones & Bartlett Learning is requesting proposals for an exciting new book series, edited by Professor Heith Copes. The series will consist of a number of books where each is devoted to a specific form of crime and is written by a top scholar in the field. The goal of the series is to provide a convenient resource for those researching a type of offense or offender that will be much more comprehensive, efficient, and effective than book chapters or encyclopedia entries. This series will enhance education for criminal justice and criminology students and researchers, provide useful information for instructors and professors teaching these topics, and will help policy makers develop effective policy.
We welcome book proposals on a wide variety of crimes including, but not limited to, homicide, rape, burglary, drug crimes, computer crimes, and motor vehicle theft. Above all, we wish to publish books that will advance understanding on specific types of crime by synthesizing the vast knowledge about particular infractions.
All proposals will be evaluated strictly according to their individual merits and compatibility with the aims of the series. In accord with this policy, we welcome proposals from new authors as well as from those with an established publishing record. Titles accepted for publication in the series will be supported by an engaged and careful peer review process, including impartial assessments by members of an international editorial advisory board consisting of leading scholars in the field.*
We are seeking proposals that fit the previous description. Please send book proposals or questions to Heith Copes (jhcopes@uab.edu), Series Editor, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1201 University Boulevard, Suite 210, Birmingham, AL, 35294.

JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY CRIMINAL JUSTICE Back to Top
Special Issue: Advancing Research on Cybercrime Victimization (November 2013 issue)
The Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice invites submissions for a special issue on the topic of cybercrime victimization. There has been a substantive increase in scholarship on the problem of cybercrime over the last decade, with a particular emphasis on offending. A much smaller body of research considers cybercrime victimization or the applicability of existing theories to account for victims of various cybercrimes. Thus, this issue will be dedicated to advancing the empirical investigation of the correlates of multiple forms of cybercrime victimization and assessment of criminological theory. Manuscripts considering computer hacking victimization, identity crimes, and malicious software infection are especially welcome. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed. An abstract of approximately 100 words and a brief biographical sketch that includes the author's current affiliation, research interest(s), and recent publications must accompany the manuscript. Manuscripts must be 30 pages or less, double-spaced, including the abstract, biographical sketch, references, and all figures and tables. Manuscripts should be received no later than December 1, 2012. Please send two electronic copies of the manuscript one complete version (with a cover page containing the author s name, title, institutional affiliation with complete address, email and phone contact information; acknowledgments; research grant numbers; and the date, location, and conference at which the manuscript may have been presented, if any), and one blind copy with all identifying information removed to facilitate blind peer review to Dr. Tom Holt at holtt@msu.edu.

Special Issue: Crime and the Great Recession (February 2014 issue)
The recession that began in 2008 was in many ways the most severe economic downturn that the United States, and much of Europe, had experienced since the Great Depression. The ?Great Recession? prompted widespread concerns, including among many criminologists, that crime rates would rise in response to deteriorating economic conditions. But that did not happen. Crime rates in the United States actually fell in 2009 and 2010. This special issue brings together leading researchers who will address crime levels and patterns during the Great Recession in both the United States and Europe. In addition, the special issue will consider the special case of white-collar and corporate crime, which some analysts have suggested actually contributed to the financial crisis that precipitated the most severe recession in 80 years. This issue is by invitation only. The Editor is Richard Rosenfeld

JOURNAL OF LAW AND COURTS Back to Top
The University of Chicago Press and the Law and Courts Organized Section of the American Political Science Association are pleased to announce a new journal intended for all scholars with an interest in legal institutions, actors, processes, and policy. The Journal of Law and Courts will publish in print and electronic formats beginning in 2013, and is now accepting submissions.
For complete submission guidelines, visit the journal’s home page: www.journals.uchicago.edu/jlc.
“The journal will be a truly interdisciplinary forum for those who study law and courts regardless of methodological or theoretical approach,” said David Klein, a professor at the University of Virginia’s Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics and the journal’s inaugural editor. “Most journals in this field are focused narrowly on specific subtypes of scholarship. In the end, we too often read and write for only small groups of scholars much like ourselves and fail to keep up with the ideas of those who share our broad interests but approach them differently. The Journal of Law and Courts will have the central mission of promoting communication and intellectual fertilization across traditional boundaries.”
To that end, the editorial team seeks submissions from scholars in political science departments and law schools as well as from departments of anthropology, economics, history, psychology, and sociology. The journal will welcome both qualitative and quantitative empirical studies as well as purely theoretical essays.
“As we consider papers for publication, substance will be valued far above either form or method,” Dr. Klein said. “The most important criteria for publication in JLC will be that the core issues or questions addressed in a paper strike a wide swath of the law and courts community as interesting and important and that they be addressed in a highly professional and effective manner.”
Serving along with Editor David Klein is an editorial board of highly accomplished scholars who are representative of the journal’s theoretical and methodological diversity:
Brandon Bartels, George Washington University
Pamela Brandwein, University of Michigan
Keith Bybee, Syracuse University
Javier Couso, Universidad Diego Portales, Chile
Charles Epp, University of Kansas
Leslie Goldstein, University of Delaware
Stacia Haynie, Louisiana State University
Ran Hirschl, University of Toronto
Jeffrey Lax, Columbia University,
Lynn Mather, University at Buffalo, SUNY
Julie Novkov, University at Albany, SUNY
Suzanna Sherry, Vanderbilt University
Georg Vanberg, University of North Carolina
Each submission selected for publication by the editor will be reviewed by at least one board member to ensure that the piece has cross-boundary appeal. In other respects the journal will follow standard peer-review procedures, with a minimum of three referees providing reports on each submission via a double-blind review process. The journal accepts only single submissions.
The journal’s electronic edition will be included with all University of Chicago Press Journals in the JSTOR Current Scholarship Program, making its content available and discoverable for scholars all over the world. Content will also be available through leading third-party search and discovery services. Individual subscriptions are available through the Press and via membership in the Law and Courts Organized Section of APSA.
“Section members told us they wanted a forum that encouraged greater intellectual cohesion in the section," said Christopher Zorn, professor of political science at Penn State and chair of the APSA Law and Courts Section. “JLC will accomplish that goal.”
The University of Chicago Press Journals Division distributes more than 50 journals and hardcover serials, presenting original research from international scholars in the social sciences, humanities, education, biological and medical sciences, and physical sciences.

Four under the theme "Access to Justice." The Journal provides a forum
to
address and propose solutions to contemporary issues that have currently
been under legislative and judicial consideration. Each volume is thematic
in nature and includes articles exploring these issues from an array

Military, and Genetic Engineering and the Human Future. This year's
theme "Access to Justice" includes, but is not limited to, the provision
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
note
that we do not support any particular viewpoint on the subject matter.

JOURNAL OF THE GLOBAL HOMELAND SECURITY EDUCATION NETWORK Back to Top
Volume 2
Call for manuscripts: “Security and leisure”.
This call for manuscripts is for the second issue of the electronic journal, The Journal of the Global Homeland Security Education Network (JGHSEN). This Journal has evolved out of an Atlantis Policy Project on Homeland Security Education at the International Level which entailed the assessment of the state of homeland security education in the US and Europe. The Project was made possible by research support granted by the US Government and European Commission. Four partner institutions are involved in this research project: in terms of the European Union these are Northumbria University (the United Kingdom), and Linnaeus University (Sweden). For the United States the partner institutions are the University of Central Missouri and Virginia Commonwealth University
Despite concerns to the contrary, the London Olympics passed off without major incident. Doomsday predictions of a terrorist’s fantasy littered with attacks proved to be well wide of the mark. The Games were widely praised as running efficiently and, though it was not stated overtly, safely. Nevertheless, behind the outward signs that the Games had been successful, they did not pass without controversy. For example, a security fiasco ensued as the private sector was unable to provide the requisite number of security guards. The shortfall was covered by the state. Moreover, spectators at several events had to endure the type of security checks that are most often found at airports.
Given the importance that leisure plays in our lives, the security legacy of London is potentially puzzling. In future leisure events, will spectators now be expected to go through scanning machines in the name of “security”? Indeed, given the shootings at Aurora, Colorado, will it be necessary to install such security measures in venues such as movie theatres? How does the public/private dichotomy play out when it comes to the security of leisure? Where does democratic accountability lie when it comes to overseeing the conduct of security firms? Further factors to consider might include whether the alleged security threat to major leisure events has been overegged in a discourse that has been moulded by the security industry. Furthermore, what sorts of implications might this new security paradigm have for the relationship between the individual citizen on the one hand, and the public/private sectors on the other? In other words, how might this new security paradigm impact upon civil liberties? And what issues arise from having the armed forces on standby for events such as the Olympic Games? It is to these and related issues that the second issue of the JGHSEN shall focus. It is anticipated that content for this second issue of the JGHSEN will come from a broad array of subject areas that can be included in the broad range of homeland security concerns. It is anticipated that manuscripts will be submitted from many academic disciplines and from around the world. This special issue will represent innovative multi- and inter-disciplinary scholarship that engages with key issues in homeland security education issues.
The goal of the Journal of the Global Homeland Security Education Network is to allow for the publication of innovative contributions in the examination of transnational, comparative, and cooperative international efforts to ensure and advance homeland security. The JGHSEN will serve as a venue to allow for academics, researchers, and practitioners to publish through this electronic journal articles describing relevant research or practice
Articles should be of 3,500-5,000 words in length. Further details can be found at our website (http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/sass/about/socscience/solscres/interdiscnetworks/ghsen/journ_ghsen1/?view=Standard) or via the editors of the Journal: Dr Craig McLean (craig.mclean@unn.ac.uk), Dr Daniel Silander (daniel.silander@lnu.se), or Professor Donald H. Wallace (wallace@ucmo.edu).
The submission deadline is 15 December 2012.
This will be the second issue of the electronic journal, The Journal of the Global Homeland Security Education Network (JGHSEN). The Global Homeland Security Education Network (GHSEN) seeks to provide an internet-based venue to bring together individuals and institutions from across the globe dedicated to advancing homeland security education as evidenced in many disciplines and areas. The GHSEN is a product of the work of a consortium of universities under an EU-U.S. Atlantis Grant (P116J090056) from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education and the European Union’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (156478-UK-2009-USAPOM).

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.

We are also interested in a wide range of offending topics including original research and evaluations of offender identification, apprehension, court processing, and sentencing decisions; original research and evaluation of offender treatment and control services, programs, and policies; assessments/ profiles of specific offender groups (violent offenders, mentally ill offenders, sex offenders) ; research on offending/desistance through the life course; and evidence-based reviews of research on the effectiveness of both adult and juvenile treatment and/or control strategies.
During our first year as co-editors of Victims and Offenders, we plan to publish two special issues. Announcements about forthcoming special issues will be posted here and on the American Society of Criminology, American Sociological Association, and other related professional organization WebPages, including ASA and ACJS.
