Criminology: An Interdisciplinary Journal

Criminology: An Interdisciplinary Journal is an official publication of the American Society of Criminology. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature, devoted to crime and deviant behavior, as found in sociology, psychology, design, systems analysis, and decision theory as applied to crime and criminal justice. The major emphasis is on empirical research and scientific methodology, and article reporting on the original research are given priority. Articles which review the literature or deal with theoretical issues stated in the literature are also dealt with and suggest the types of investigation which might properly be carried out in the future. Criminology is published four times annually — February, May, August, and November. Submissions to the journal should be sent directly to the Editor via the on-line submission process (see link below). The most recent journal rankings from the Institute for Scientific Information identifies Criminology as the leading professional journal in the field of criminology (first out of 27), sixth of 96 in the field of sociology, and 29th of 101 in the field of law.
