Call for Papers Deadline: Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Public Health Studies

December 31, 2011

Justice Quarterly invites submissions for a special issue, Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Public Health
Studies
, guest edited by Travis C. Pratt.

While there is a burgeoning field of research which studies violence and crime as a health outcome, little of that work originates from criminology and criminal justice. The goal of this special issue is to begin the discussion of health-related outcomes from within criminology and to ultimately build public health-criminology collaborations. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are appropriate. Theoretical and analytical papers are appropriate and welcomed as well.

The submissions deadline is Dec. 31, 2011. mw
