Justice Evaluation Journal

期刊简介：The Justice Evaluation Journal ( JEJ ) aims to assess the efficacy, efficiency, and equity of crime reduction and prevention programs and policies instituted and funded primarily by local, state, national and international agencies as well as non-governmental organizations. Governing bodies at many levels seek evidence -based assessments of criminal justice programs and policies. JEJ provides a forum for scholars and practitioners in criminal justice and related sectors to offer answers to fundamental questions of what works and what does not work, and why. The journal explores the role that academic research plays in criminal justice policy and practice and provides practitioners with a resource for making informed implementation, modification, and funding decisions. JEJ welcomes papers concerning criminal justice policies and programs broadly defined. This includes related public policy areas which have an impact on criminal justice outcomes such as social welfare, education, or health initiatives. Accordingly, the journal welcomes cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary submissions, particularly from Sociology, Psychology, Social Work, Public Administration, and Economics as well as Criminal Justice and Criminology. JEJ publishes evidence-based examinations of existing programs and policies and the role of research in practice. Articles accepted for publication explicitly assess outcomes and their impact, offer evidence-based suggestions for improvement, alternative approaches, or discontinuation of ineffective existing programs or policies. The preferred article explores the best methodological approaches to accomplish evaluative work, and addresses the limitations of the underlying research upon which the program or policy was based on, and suggests further avenues of primary research which practice could benefit from. As JEJ focuses on evaluation practices aimed at improving criminal justice outcomes, it publishes articles formatted to be as accessible as possible to practitioners. Submissions should: be no more than 30 pages focus on the research questions, methodology, findings and analysis of results rather than extensive literature reviews explicitly assess the research's implications for the program or policy in question Peer Review Policy: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
