Criminology & Criminal Justice (CCJ)

Criminology & Criminal Justice is an influential international, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal that publishes high‑quality research in the broad interdisciplinary fields of criminology and criminal justice. Launched in 2001, it was established to provide a forum for original empirical studies, theoretical advancements, and policy‑relevant scholarship that explore crime and responses to crime across diverse social, institutional, and cultural settings. The journal is published approximately five times a year and is the official journal of the British Society of Criminology, reflecting both UK and global perspectives on crime, justice systems, and social responses to wrongdoing. It welcomes rigorous inquiry into the causes and consequences of crime, the functioning and reform of policing and judicial systems, comparative justice practices, restorative and retributive responses, and the effects of criminal justice policies on individuals and communities. Contributions may blend qualitative and quantitative approaches, advance methodological innovation, or situate findings within broader social and policy debates. With its interdisciplinary reach, Criminology & Criminal Justice connects researchers, educators, and policymakers, fostering critical discussion on the latest issues shaping theory and practice in criminological research and justice administration. The journal also serves as a platform for international debate on contemporary challenges, including inequality, harm, governance, and social control.
