-CALL FOR PAPERS-
THE CONTEMPORARY JUSTICE REVIEW:Issues in Criminal, Social, and Restorative
Justice
Manuscripts are being solicited for a new international journal, The
Contemporary Justice Review, published by Gordon and Breach Publishers. The
journal will be truly interdisciplinary in nature focusing on all aspects
of criminal, social, and restorative justice from the perspectives of
sociology, psychology, history, religion, anthropology, law, and human
technology.
The journal will serve as a forum to bring together the voices of scholars,
activists, and practitioners of justice from around the globe who seek to
explore new models and demonstration projects of justice that have
applicability to social systems from the local to the international level.
The new journal will seek to redefine the current boundaries of criminology
and criminal justice by exploring justice in the family, the school, the
workplace, the community, and the world.
The editors will give special attention to cutting-edge articles on
peacemaking criminology, restorative justice theory and practice,
alternative responses to harm (e. g. prison abolition), community
empowerment and crime prevention, structural alternatives to nation-state
and corporate violence, conflict resolution and peaceful methods of
problem-solving, and environmental justice. Also highly sought are
theoretical perspectives that call for needs-based solutions to
power-driven social arrangements as opposed to those derived from the
prevailing deserts- and rights-based perspectives.
The journal will reflect a variety of formats, publishing not only
scholarly articles but reflective personal essays, exchanges among scholars
and activists, interviews with those living lives of restorative justice,
narrative histories on crime and punishment, roundtable discussions and
exchanges, book reviews that emphasize a work's contribution to justice
studies, and movie reviews that examine a filmmaker's contribution to
understanding violence and justice.
Manuscripts should be no longer than 25 typed, double-spaced, pages with
text presented on one side of paper. Send four copies of the manuscript
(three of which need to be prepared for blind-review) to: Dennis Sullivan,
Editor, The Contemporary Justice Review, 14 Voorheesville Avenue, P. O. Box
262, Voorheesville, NY 12186 USA; Tel: 518-765-2468; e-mail
