About the Journal

The remit of the Journal of criminal justice and security is to participate in contemporary criminal justice research relating to the examination and development of theory, structure, process, cause and consequence of societal responses to crime and criminality, and other security issues. While it incorporates the social and behavioral aspects of criminology, criminal justice is a much broader field of study because it is interdisciplinary in nature, covering the study of policing, prosecution, courts, prisons and other correctional and supervisory institutions, and security provision in contemporary society. The Journal of criminal justice and security research work applies basic scientific approaches to the following areas:

• understanding the social, psychological, philosophic, economic, historical, legal and political aspects of crime, deviance, justice and provision of safety/security;
• exploring the aetiology, prevention, control and response to criminality and criminals;
• assessing the extent and form of crime and deviant behavior in society;
• studying criminal law and legal procedures;
• studying law enforcement in practice and the work of prosecution services, the courts and correctional facilities;
• studying other social control mechanisms and methods of security provision in contemporary society.
