Legal and Criminological Psychology (LCP)

Legal and Criminological Psychology is a well-established international forensic psychology journal that has been published since 1996, providing a rigorous academic platform for research that enhances understanding of how psychological principles operate at the interface of law and criminal justice. It serves psychologists, criminologists, legal scholars, and practitioners by disseminating studies that advance the scientific and professional knowledge of topics such as criminal decision-making, causes and correlates of offending, investigative and interview techniques, cognitive and social processes in legal contexts, judicial and jury behavior, deception and memory, forensic assessment, and the rehabilitation of offenders. Each quarterly issue features original empirical research, comprehensive reviews of the field, and integrative analyses that address both theoretical and applied questions. The journal’s broad scope facilitates interdisciplinary dialogue, inviting contributions from psychology, criminology, law enforcement, legal practice, and related social sciences. By publishing high-quality research and fostering critical debate, Legal and Criminological Psychology plays a central role in shaping contemporary thought and practice in forensic and legal psychology — from understanding cognitive influences on jury decision-making to improving methods for interviewing witnesses and suspects.
