Manuscript Editing for Criminal Justice and Behavior Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Criminal Justice and Behavior is the official publication of the International Association for Correctional and Forensic Psychology, and Sage publishes it. It covers psychological and behavioral aspects of juvenile and criminal justice, from the causes of offending, victimology, and offender classification to treatment, deterrence, and the effects of sanctions and programs.

Manuscripts follow the current edition of the APA Publication Manual, including its headings. The cover letter must disclose any overlap with other work that uses the same data or participants. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts in APA style and edits toward what a correctional practitioner could build on. Submissions go through Sage Track.
