Criminology and Justice Studies - Re-Mapping Africa

Open Access Open Access  Restricted Access Subscription Access
African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies is the official organ of the African Criminology and Justice Association but the opinions expressed in the journal are those of the authors and not necessarily representative of the views of the association. The journal is here to fill a void in existing knowledge by exposing the discipline to knowledge about and from Africa and Africans worldwide that could enrich the discipline in a progressive direction. For too long has criminology continued as a discipline designed almost exclusively by others with little or no acknowledgement of the contributions, actual and potential, from African sources. Central to the aims of the journal (though not exclusive) is the publication of innovative theoretical, methodological and policy interventions that deepen the understanding of how to prevent or repair the crimes against humanity that people of African descent have suffered and how to reverse the crisis of over-representation that people of African descent continue to suffer in correctional institutions around the world. Essays on criminal justice agencies and policies that impact on people of African descent will also be published with emphasis on how they relate to a better understanding of how to guarantee social, political and economic justice to people of African descent globally. - Dr. Biko Agozino, Editor-In-Chief
