European Journal of Criminology (EJC)

The European Journal of Criminology is a leading scholarly outlet dedicated to advancing criminological knowledge and informing criminal justice policy across Europe and beyond. Since its inception in 2004, the journal has cultivated a reputation for publishing high‑quality, peer‑reviewed research that addresses both enduring and contemporary issues in the study of crime and justice. It provides a forum for rigorous theoretical discussion, empirical investigation, and methodological innovation grounded in strong social‑science traditions. Emphasizing analytical depth and relevancy to European criminology, the journal welcomes contributions that explore crime trends, causes, consequences, prevention, and control, alongside comparative analyses of justice institutions and practices. In addition to empirical research, the journal features country surveys that offer concise, authoritative summaries of national criminal justice systems and scholarly output, and review articles that critique and contextualize key debates in the literature. Published six times yearly, the journal reflects a diverse editorial perspective that spans multiple disciplinary orientations — including sociology, law, public policy, and psychology — all converging on the central concerns of crime and justice. The journal’s affiliation with the European Society of Criminology further anchors its commitment to fostering scholarly communication among academics, policymakers, and practitioners, making it an essential resource for those engaged with contemporary challenges and developments in criminology.
