The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice is a leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on all aspects of criminology, criminal justice, and social justice. It serves as a forum for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to engage in critical discussions about crime, law enforcement, and the administration of justice.
The journal's scope includes: crime theory, criminal behavior, policing, courts, corrections, and the impact of criminal justice policies on marginalized communities. 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. It is often linked to the Howard League for Penal Reform.
The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice aims to promote social justice, challenge conventional thinking, and inform evidence-based policies related to crime and justice. The journal welcomes submissions that offer rigorous analysis, innovative solutions, and a commitment to addressing inequality within the criminal justice system.
