Global push for Australia鈥檚 leading criminal justice and law journal
is Australia鈥檚 leading peer-reviewed journal on criminal justice with a focus on criminology and criminal law. First published in 1989, the journal has been informing critical debate in criminal justice issues in Australia and internationally for close to three decades, and continues to provide detailed analysis of local, regional and global issues from outstanding academic contributors.
As part of the ongoing contribution the journal makes to public advocacy and critical debate on criminal justice issues, Current Issues in Criminal Justice will be published in partnership with Taylor and Francis from 2019.
For almost 30 years Current Issues in Criminal Justice has been at the forefront of research and debate about crime and criminal justice in Australia and beyond.
鈥淲e have published world class scholarship, highly cited articles, and helped many new scholars achieve their first publication 鈥� including myself. We have broken new ground with special issues on topics such as green criminology, women and prison, and forensic science. The journal has also played a key role in fostering critical debate on contemporary challenges in criminal law through its contemporary comments section and has published high-quality book reviews on related topics.鈥�
Professor Lee said Taylor and Francis鈥� support would enhance the journal鈥檚 position as the leading academic publication on criminal justice and criminal law in Australia and broaden the journal鈥檚 reach to a global audience, crucial at time when innovative local solutions to some of the most intractable criminological issues may provide answers in other contexts.
鈥淲ith this partnership we move to four issues a year, welcome the distribution power of a major publisher, and achieve even greater international reach. We will still keep a focus on contemporary debates in Australian criminal justice but will be more outward looking and welcome even more international scholars. Now is a great time to submit quality articles to the journal,鈥� he said.
