Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology and Crime Prevention

Aims & Scope

The Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology, together with the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish national crime prevention councils, is publishing this forum of Nordic scientific work on criminology and crime prevention.

The Journal provides opportunities to publish in a peer-reviewed context much of such scientific work that would not be easily available in standard international sources as it is actively searching for and encouraging Nordic authors to report in English, convinced that there is much scientifically and practically interesting and relevant work that deserves to be published to the benefit of audiences unable to follow work available only in the Nordic languages.
