Scope

The scope of the journal is broad and inclusive, embracing a wide diversity of thinking within criminology. However, Theoretical Criminology is first and foremost concerned with the theoretical dimension of criminology. Generally, this means that the journal is more concerned with exploring, understanding, and critiquing the theoretical dimensions of criminological knowledge-making than with exercises in that activity. The journal welcomes contributions from the best work of all perspectives and traditions, Theoretical Criminology publishes papers that go beyond testing, evaluating, or integrating existing theories and is actively interested in extended discussions of the theoretical implications of such studies.
