Call for papers: JUSTICE EVALUATION JOURNAL

The Justice Evaluation Journal (JEJ), an official journal of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, aims to assess the efficacy, efficiency, and equity of crime reduction and prevention programs and policies. JEJ provides a forum for scholars and practitioners in criminal justice and related sectors to offer answers to fundamental questions of what works and what does not work, and why.

JEJ welcomes papers concerning criminal justice policies and programs broadly defined. This includes related public policy areas which have an impact on criminal justice outcomes such as social welfare, education, or health initiatives. We publish evidence-based examinations of existing programs and policies and the role of research in practice.

Submissions should:

  • be no more than 30 pages.

  • focus on the research questions, methodology, findings, and analysis of results rather than extensive literature reviews.

  • explicitly assess the research's implications for the program or policy in question.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

For more information, contact the Editor, N. Prabha Unnithan, Colorado State University [Prabha.Unnithan@colostate.edu] or the journal office [CLA_jej@colostate.edu]
