Criminology & Public Policy (CPP)

Criminology & Public Policy is a leading academic journal dedicated to bridging rigorous criminological research with meaningful public policy impacts. Since its inception in 2001, the journal has published high‑quality, empirically grounded research that directly addresses critical questions about crime prevention, justice system effectiveness, crime policy reform, policing strategies, corrections practices, and legal frameworks shaping criminal justice systems worldwide. Emphasizing the translation of research into policy and practice, the journal welcomes quantitative and qualitative studies, systematic reviews, and critical analyses that evaluate the implementation, outcomes, cost‑effectiveness, and broader societal effects of criminal justice policies. Criminology & Public Policy also features invited policy essays and special issues on topics such as policing reform, community justice innovations, sentencing policy, and evidence‑based interventions. The journal is interdisciplinary, integrating criminology, law, sociology, public administration, and related social sciences to foster robust dialogue among academics, policymakers, and practitioners. As an official publication of the American Society of Criminology, and published by Wiley, it plays a central role in advancing evidence‑based approaches to contemporary challenges in public policy and justice administration. Its articles not only contribute to scholarly theory but also provide actionable insights for shaping effective crime and justice strategies in diverse jurisdictions.
