Criminology and Criminology & Public Policy:
A Manuscript Submission Guide for Authors
The American Society of Criminology publishes two peer-reviewed journals, Criminology and Criminology & Public Policy. While each journal seeks to publish state-of-the-art research on important substantive issues, their individual publication focus differs. To provide more guidance to authors in their manuscript submission decisions, the following descriptions of each journal’s publication priorities are provided. Although inevitable overlap between the two journals is to be expected, we hope the descriptions below will prove helpful.
Criminology
- Its central objective is to publish articles that advance the theoretical and research agenda of criminology and criminal justice.
- It is committed to the study of crime, deviant behavior, and related phenomena as addressed in the social and behavioral sciences and the fields of law, criminal justice and history.
- Its emphasis is upon empirical research and scientific methodology, with priority given to articles reporting original research.
- It includes articles needed to advance criminology and criminal justice as a scientific discipline.
Criminology & Public Policy
- Its central objective is to publish articles that strengthen the role of research in the development of criminal justice policy and practice.
- It is committed to empirical studies that assess criminal justice policy or practice, and provide evidence-based support for new, modified, or alternative policies and practices.
- Its emphasis is upon providing more informed dialogue about criminal justice policies and practices and the empirical evidence related to these policies and practices.
- It includes articles needed to advance the relationship between criminological research and criminal justice policy and practice

Criminology:
An Interdisciplinary Journal is an official publication
of the American Society of Criminology. The
journal is interdisciplinary in nature, devoted to
crime and deviant behavior, as found in sociology,
psychology, design, systems analysis, and decision
theory as applied to crime and criminal justice.
The major emphasis is on empirical research and scientific
methodology, and article reporting on the original
research are given priority. Articles which
review the literature or deal with theoretical issues
stated in the literature are also dealt with and suggest
the types of investigation which might properly be
carried out in the future. Criminology is published
four times annually -- February, May, August,
and November. Submissions to the journal should
be sent directly to the Editor via the on-line submission
process (see link below). A $10.00 submission
fee, made payable to the American Society of Criminology,
should also be mailed to the Editor. The most recent
journal rankings from the Institute for Scientific Information identifies
Criminology as the leading professional journal
in the field of criminology (first out of 27), sixth
of 96 in the field of sociology, and 29th of 101 in
the field of law.

Criminology & Public Policy, an official publication of the American Society of Criminology, is a peer-review journal devoted to the study of criminal justice policy and practice. The central objective of the journal is to strengthen the role of research findings in the formulation of crime and justice policy through publishing empirically based, policy-focused articles. Authors are encouraged to submit papers that contribute to a more informed dialogue about policies and their empirical bases. 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.
