CALL FOR PAPERS
Editorial
Policy
The American Journal of Criminal
Justice,
sponsored by the Southern Criminal Justice Association, is a refereed
publication
and manuscripts go through a blind review process. The focus of
AJCJ
is on a wide array of criminal justice topics and issues. Some of
these concerns include items pertaining to the criminal justice
process,
the formal and informal interplay between system components, problems
and
solutions experienced by various segments, innovative practices, policy
development and implementation, evaluative research, the players
engaged
in these enterprises, and a wide assortment of other related
interests.
The AJCJ publishes original articles that utilize a broad range of
methodologies
and perspectives when examining crime, law, and criminal justice
processing.
Submission
Procedures
The strongly preferred way for
authors
to transmit manuscripts is via e-mail (WordPerfect or Word
format).
Submissions sent through the postal service should include one hard
copy
of the manuscript along with an IBM-compatible file on a 3 ½
inch
disk. Manuscripts should include a title page listing the
author(s)
and affiliation(s) along with postal and e-mail addresses, an abstract
page that does not exceed 150 words, and a brief biographical sketch of
the author(s). Papers are not to exceed 25 pages in total length
(including tables, figures, and references) and style should conform to
that outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association
(2001). Submission of a manuscript to AJCJ is regarded as a
