Thank you for your interest in The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. The Editors of the Journal welcome unsolicited manuscripts. The Journal prefers that manuscripts be submitted via Expresso if at all possible: http://law.bepress.com/expresso/.Manuscripts may also be submitted via mail at the address listed below. Please submit one CD containing the manuscript and one printed copy of the manuscript. We regret that manuscripts cannot be returned. Address manuscripts and submission-related correspondence to:
The Journal uses Microsoft Word for all word-processing. Manuscripts must be submitted as Microsoft Word files. Documents created in WordPerfect (or any other non-Microsoft Word application) will not be reviewed. Manuscript submissions should be formatted in twelve-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins on all sides. Footnotes should be single-spaced and numbered serially.
Criminal Law Manuscripts Articles should ideally be of 15,000-25,000 words in length. While in extraordinary circumstances we will accept longer Articles, manuscripts of longer than 30,000 words in length are unlikely to be accepted for publication. All footnotes and citations to authority within Criminal Law submissions must conform to Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, 18th Edition, distributed by the Harvard Law Review Association, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Criminology Manuscripts Criminology manuscripts are peer reviewed. Please designate on the cover letter if the manuscript is a Criminology submission. Manuscripts submitted for Criminology review may not be concurrently submitted to other Journals. We make every effort to ensure expedited review of Criminology manuscripts. Criminology manuscripts that use the Bluebook format are preferred; however, we will review Criminology submissions that utilize other citation formats. In that case, our editors will assist the author with the translation of citations into Bluebook format after an article has been accepted. All graphs, charts, and similar material should be in camera-ready copy on separate sheets.
Copyright Notification Except under unusual circumstances, it is the policy of the Journal not to publish articles that have appeared or are to appear in other publications. Accordingly, all manuscripts should be submitted with the understanding that the Journal possesses the exclusive right of original publication. We do accept manuscripts that have been or are concurrently posted on SSRN. For various clerical reasons, the Journal requests that each author assign copyright to the Northwestern University School of Law for the collected work. While permitting the author unlimited use of the article, it offers the author the ordinary copyright protection. Copyrights will be taken out in the name of Northwestern University School of Law, and requests for permission to reprint your article will be processed by Northwestern University School of Law. A total of twenty-five reprints are supplied gratis to the author or authors of each article. Additional reprints may be obtained by arrangement with the Editors of the Journal prior to publication, or by arrangement with the printer after publication. Any further questions may be addressed to jclc@law.northwestern.edu.
