The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency (JRCD) is a peer-reviewed academic journal established in 1964, making it one of the long-standing scholarly outlets in criminology and criminal justice. Since its inception, JRCD has been dedicated to publishing rigorous, empirical research that explores the causes, patterns, and consequences of crime and delinquent behavior, as well as institutional responses within the criminal-legal system. The journal prioritizes interdisciplinary scholarship, drawing from sociology, psychology, economics, political science, and related fields to enhance understanding of criminal phenomena and justice policy. Its content includes original research articles, literature reviews, theoretical essays, and policy-oriented studies that contribute to both academic knowledge and practical applications in crime prevention and justice administration. JRCD provides an international platform for scholars and practitioners to engage with current controversies, methodological advances, and substantive findings in criminology.
