Series Details:
Criminology and Justice Studies seeks to publish brief and longer length manuscripts that will innovate intellectually and stylistically. Our goal is to publish works that model the best scholarship and thinking in the field today, but in a style that connects that scholarship to a wider audience of advanced undergraduates, the general public, as well as beginning graduate students. Topics the series will include, but are not limited to, are the causes and consequences of crime, the globalization of crime, crime control policy (domestic and international), crime prevention, organizational approaches to the study of the criminal justice system, decision-making in the criminal justice system, terrorism and homeland security, and immigration and crime.
