Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Feminist Criminology – an innovative new journal that is dedicated to research related to women, girls, and crime within the context of a feminist critique of criminology – unveiled its premier issue in January 2006. Published quarterly by SAGE Publications as the official journal of the Division on Women and Crime of the American Society of Criminology, this international publication focuses on research and theory that highlights the gendered nature of crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females. Therefore, research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. Feminist Criminology provides a venue for articles that place women in the center of the research question, answering different questions than the mainstream approach of controlling for sex.
Feminist Criminology features research utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methodology and includes insightful topics such as:
•Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Diversity in the Study of Girls, Women and Crime
•Cross‐Cultural/International Perspectives on Girls, Women and Crime
•Women Working in the Criminal Justice Profession
•How Women Offenders Are Treated in the Criminal Justice System
•Girls and Women as Victims
•Feminist Theories of Crime
•Girls, Women and the Justice System
Manuscripts will be peer‐reviewed by the diverse and distinguished multi‐disciplinary editorial board and should be submitted in electronic format, not exceeding 30 double‐spaced typed pages, with a 100‐word abstract and a brief autobiographical sketch. Figures, tables, and references must be on separate pages and should follow the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition).
Submissions to Feminist Criminology should be sent directly to the editor via email at femcrim@utc.edu. In addition to submitting the manuscript, a $10.00 sub‐mission fee, made payable to the American Society of Criminology, should be mailed to:
