World Histories of Crime, Culture and Violence (WHCCV)

World Histories of Crime, Culture and Violence is an international peer-reviewed academic journal that explores the historical dimensions of crime, violence, and cultural responses to deviant behavior. Launched in 2017 and published by Berghahn Books, the journal provides a global and interdisciplinary platform for scholars studying the intersections of crime, society, and culture across different historical periods. The journal focuses on understanding crime and violence not only as legal or social issues but also as cultural and historical phenomena shaped by political, economic, and social structures. It publishes original research articles, thematic special issues, and comparative historical studies covering topics such as criminal justice systems, policing history, colonial violence, organized crime, gender-based violence, and cultural representations of crime. It emphasizes a global perspective, encouraging research that moves beyond Eurocentric narratives and includes studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other regions. The journal aims to connect historians, criminologists, sociologists, and anthropologists in a shared academic space. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure scholarly quality and originality. By integrating crime history with cultural analysis, the journal contributes significantly to academic discussions on violence, justice, and social order throughout world history.
