Revue Internationale de Droit Penal

Aims & Scope

The International Review of Penal Law is the primary publication medium and core scientific output of the International Association of Penal Law.

It contributes to the development of ideas, knowledge, and practices in the field of penal sciences.

Combining international and comparative perspectives, the RIDP covers criminal law theory and philosophy, general principles of criminal law, special criminal law, criminal procedure, and international criminal law.

The RIDP is published twice a year.

Typically, issues are linked to the Association’s core scientific activities, i.e. the AIDP conferences, Young Penalist conferences, world conferences or, every five years, the International Congress of Penal Law.

Occasionally, issues will be dedicated to a single, topical scientific theme, validated by the Scientific Committee of the Association, comprising high-quality papers which have been either presented and discussed in small-scale expert colloquia or selected following an open call for papers.

The RIDP is published in English only.
