Call for Papers | See 'Manuscript Submission' link on the journal's official homepage for update

The editors of Critical Criminology: An International Journal are seeking manuscripts that deal with questions of social, political and economic justice. The journal is for academics and researchers with an interest in the anarchistic, cultural feminist, integrative, Marxist, peace-making, postmodernist and realistic criminology. Critical Criminology also deals with issues that include class, gender, race/ethnicity and heterosexism. It encourages works that focus on creative and cooperative solutions to justice problems, plus strategies for the construction of a more inclusive society. Critical Criminology is the official journal of the Division of Critical Criminology in the American Society of Criminology. 

Submission Guidelines | See 'Manuscript Submission' link on the journal's official homepage for update

Papers should be 6,000 to 8,000 words (including tables, illustrations, notes and references) and framed in a manner that would be of interest to an international audience. Book reviews are also welcome and shorter research notes (3,000 words) will be considered for publication. All manuscripts are subject to peer review. 

Tables, illustrations, footnotes and references are to appear at the end of the paper and an abstract of 100 to 200 words should be included. Any in-text citation style - for example (Author Date: Page) - is acceptable so long as it is used consistently and the reference section contains all important information. Endnotes are preferred to footnotes and should be used sparingly.

Please send 2 paper copies and 1 electronic copy (IBM compatible) to the appropriate editor listed below. Sending both paper and electronic copies helps us expedite the review and hold down the costs to sponsoring universities. 

Please feel free to recommend appropriate reviewers for your paper. 

If you would like to be added to our reviewer database, please email or send a letter to the appropriate editor. Be sure to include contact information, your areas of specialization and if there is a website/URL that contains more information about you. 

PLEASE NOTE: Paul Leighton's term as editor has ended. Contact the editors below about new submissions. The Journal remains active, but these pages will not be updated beyond what occurred during Paul's editorship.
