Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research about juvenile justice and delinquency prevention often reveals deep problems in the systems intended to help these children. From high recidivism rates to abusive practices to a lack of programming, there are many issues to uncover and address. At the same time, an exclusive focus on these problems can prevent us from recognizing the promising advances in prevention and rehabilitation. For this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute an article showcasing or discussing one such promising practice. We welcome submissions from a wide variety of perspectives, places, and methods, as our goal is to bring together encouraging developments in research, theory, and practice in order to make new knowledge available to a diverse audience of researchers, practitioners, and politicians.
The submissions can be about a wide range of topics related to juvenile justice and delinquency prevention, including the following:
- Delinquency prevention programs with promising results.
- Positive interventions in juvenile justice.
- Innovative practices in juvenile courts and corrections.
- Promising programs in juvenile corrections.
- Alternatives to the juvenile justice system.
- Measuring success in delinquency prevention and juvenile justice programs.
We welcome original research, review articles, or theoretical papers. All the submissions will be peer-reviewed.
Please submit your proposals and any questions to Special Issue editors by 1 March 2024. Notification of acceptance will be provided by 20 March 2024. Final papers are due on 15 September 2024 for peer review. We encourage you to submit your article as soon as possible to help to ensure rapid review and publication. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
We look forward to working with you.
