Criminal Justice Studies is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring critical issues in criminology, penology, and criminal justice. It provides a forum for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to engage in scholarly discussions that advance the understanding of crime, law enforcement, and the administration of justice.
Areas covered include: crime theory, criminal behavior, policing, courts, corrections, and the impact of criminal justice policies on society. While not explicitly indexed by Scopus or Web of Science (as of my last knowledge update), it targets criminologists, sociologists, legal scholars, criminal justice professionals, and policymakers.
Criminal Justice Studies aims to stimulate debate, promote evidence-based practices, and inform policy decisions related to crime prevention and justice reform. The journal welcomes submissions that offer fresh perspectives, rigorous analysis, and innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing the criminal justice system.
