Women & Criminal Justice is now listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index
Women & Criminal Justice is a peer reviewed journal that is published six times per year. Women & Criminal Justice invites articles that critically examine the issues of crime, victimization and the criminal justice system as they pertain to differences among females and males, or as they pertain to the social and cultural construction of gender. Research papers that utilize qualitative and quantitative data analysis are welcomed, as are empirical papers that relate to global concerns for women as victims, offenders or practitioners in the field of criminal justice.
The journal is committed to feminist scholarship that contributes to our understanding of female offenders, victims and practitioners, and especially is interested in analyses of the intersections of race, ethnicity, and/or class with gender. Such integrative approaches will contribute to theory and policy analysis in order to improve domestic and international responses to crime and victimization involving women and girls.
