The Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice publishes quarterly coverage of the theoretical and scientific aspects of the study of crime and the practical problems of law enforcement, administration of justice and the treatment of offenders, particularly in the Canadian context.

Since 1958, this peer-reviewed journal has provided a forum for original contributions and discussions in the fields of criminology and criminal justice.

This bilingual, peer-reviewed journal was previously called the Canadian Journal of Criminology, the Canadian Journal of Criminology and Corrections, and the Canadian Journal of Corrections.

The CJCCJ emphasizes original scientific research. Recent issues have explored topics such as the Youth Criminal Justice Act, wrongful convictions, criminology research in Canada, and punishment and restorative justice. A forthcoming issue of interest - on Car Theft - will appear, late 2008, or early 2009.

The Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice appeals to anyone needing to keep abreast of recent criminological findings and opinions: justice administrators, researchers and practitioners and academics. Published by the Canadian Criminal Justice Association (www.ccja-acjp.ca) , the journal counts subscribers in over 35 countries and is well received in academic circles. It is often quoted in textbooks, manuals, the media, other journals, and training curricula.

This journal is the technical publication of the Canadian Criminal Justice Association.
