On behalf of the American Society of Criminology’s (ASC) Division of Experimental Criminology (DEC) and Division of Policing (DOP), we invite submissions for a special issue of the Journal of Experimental Criminology (JEC) dedicated to Experiments in Policing and Public Safety.
Call for papers: the Journal of Experimental Criminology is delighted to welcome submissions to a new section of the journal, which will be published on an ongoing basis: the Cambridge Collection on Evidence-Based Policing. Edited by Professor Lawrence W. Sherman (Cambridge University, UK), the Collection will consider research articles on evidence-based decision-making in policing. Click the heading for details!
The Journal of Experimental Criminology is a Hybrid publication. By default, papers published in this journal are paywalled and available only by subscription. Authors are never asked to pay a fee at any stage of the editorial evaluation process.
Following their paper's acceptance, authors may choose to publish in Gold Open Access (OA) format to widen the reach and amplify the impact of their work. If you are interested in publishing Open Access research in the Journal of Experimental Criminology, start by assessing your eligibility for funding: check this page to see if your institution’s relationship with Springer Nature qualifies you for coverage of OA costs. Springer's Nature's list of agreements is expanding at breakneck speed, and we expect more and more deals to be announced in 2026!
