Purpose

Crime and Criminology Today is an academic and professional brand designed to inform, educate, and engage readers interested in foundational concepts of current crime trends, research, and discussions in criminology. It will foster understanding of the criminal justice system and crime prevention in communities.

The target audience will include students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, academics, law enforcement professionals, policymakers, and communities with interests and concerns regarding crime in society.

Crime and Criminology Today is designed to educate, inform, and inspire a diverse audience in society by providing access to accurate and timely information on crime causation, awareness, and prevention, with an evaluation of criminal justice strategies and criminological research methods.

We will strive to foster critical thinking and analytical skills, promote public understanding of crime, and elucidate the development of evidence-based policies and practices in the fields of criminal justice and criminology.
