Criminology & Public Policy

Criminology & Public Policy is the premier policy journal of the American Society of Criminology. It is devoted to rigorous research and critical discussions of criminal justice policies and practices. The central objective of the journal is to strengthen the role of research findings in the formulation and implementation of crime and justice policy and practice by publishing empirically based, policy-focused articles. The journal is interdisciplinary and international in its scope.

The editors welcome rigorous empirical studies that address various aspects of program and policy development, theory, operations, impacts, and cost efficiency as they pertain to all areas of justice and crime prevention. We welcome studies using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, original and replication studies, and systematic reviews or critical syntheses of literature. The journal also publishes policy or reaction essays by invitation (and following peer review) for special issues or features. However, we do not normally accept unsolicited policy or reaction essays. Submitted manuscripts must have a clearly articulated and strong connection to policy and practice.
