The European Journal of Criminology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality original research on crime and criminal justice. It is the prime European source for authoritative information on and analysis of criminological and criminal justice issues. Launched in 2004 by the European Society of Criminology in partnership with SAGE Publishing, the journal seeks to open channels of communication between academics, researchers, and policy makers across wider Europe. Crime and how to respond to it remain critical social issues across Europe. The European Journal of Criminology provides a timely resource for world-leading scholarship addressing a wide variety of topics, including development and critique of theories; implementation, evaluation, and development of research methods; analysis of quantitative and qualitative data; and evaluations and analysis of policies and practices. In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes up to two Country Surveys and Review Articles per year. Country Surveys summarize essential facts about a European country's criminal justice system, trends in crime and punishment, and major scholarship, providing a resource for others interested in particular contexts, practices, and comparisons. Review Articles present an original overview and analysis of key debates and evidence relating to a criminological or criminal justice topic that have been published in a language other than English, providing wider access to this material. The journal also aims to publish one Special Issue per year to provide an in-depth treatment of seminal criminological and criminal justice issues.
