Special Issue on Criminology, Law and Social Justice

Criminology, Law and Social Justice examines the complex relationships between crime, legal systems, and societal responses to inequality and injustice. This special issue explores contemporary research on the causes, patterns, and prevention of crime, as well as the role of legal institutions in promoting fairness, accountability, and social equity. It welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives that analyze criminal behavior, policing practices, judicial processes, penal policies, human rights, and community-based justice initiatives. By integrating insights from criminology, legal studies, sociology, and public policy, the issue aims to deepen understanding of how law and justice systems can address social disparities and contribute to safer and more equitable societies.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Criminology, Law and Social Justice. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
