About the Journal of Criminal Justice Education: The Journal of Criminal Justice Education (JCJE) (ISSN1051-1253) is an official journal of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS). JCJE provides a forum for the examination, discussion and debate of a broad range of issues concerning post-secondary education in criminal justice, criminology and related areas. The aim of JCJE is to enhance the quality of higher education in criminal justice and criminology. JCJE is an education-oriented journal for those undertaking educational and academic endeavors in the fields of criminal justice and criminology. Quality articles that address specific educational or academic issues in these areas are encouraged and will be considered for publication. Articles that deal principally with training, theory or research unrelated to criminal justice education are not likely to be considered or accepted for publication.
The JCJE Editor: The current editor of the Journal of Criminal Justice Education (JCJE) is Dr. J. Mitchell Miller (Editorial Term: September 2005-September 2008; for the 2006-2008 issues).

Guidelines for Submission of Manuscripts – Instructions for Authors
Manuscript Submission The Journal of Criminal Justice Education will consider only original manuscripts that have not been published previously or under consideration in other publications. Once an author has submitted a manuscript for consideration to the Journal of Criminal Justice Education, it is unethical to submit it for publication elsewhere.
All submissions should be made online at the Journal of Criminal Justice Education Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rcje). New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site, submissions should be made via the Author Centre.
Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second document, all information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files, authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review.”
The review process normally takes less than 12 weeks. Manuscripts should be in English, typed double-spaced, and should not exceed 30 pages, inclusive of the narrative, tables, references, appendices, and figures. The 30-page limit is not a rigid restriction, and will be waived in appropriate circumstances. Margins should be one inch on all sides. The manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of 150 words, a title page, and a biographical information page (all provided in separate documents). The title page should include (a) the article title, all in capital letters, not exceeding 30 words; (b) the names of all authors including their academic ranks or position titles, organizational or academic affiliations, and the full mailing address of all authors, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses for all authors. Further, do not include authors’ names on any other portion of the manuscript. Manuscripts should follow the APA format for headings and subheadings, citations, notes, and references.
Free Article Access Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through the publisher’s website (www.informaworld.com), and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Complimentary reprints are available through Rightslink and additional reprints can be ordered through Rightslink when proofs are received. If you have questions, please contact the publisher’s reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk.
