Manuscript Editing for Criminal Justice Studies Journal Articles
Criminal Justice Studies publishes theoretical, empirical, and interpretive studies of crime and criminal justice from across the social sciences. It welcomes every social science method and gives particular attention to critical assessment of criminal justice policy and practice. Taylor & Francis publishes it quarterly.
A typical paper runs 5,000 to 8,000 words, counting the abstract, references, and captions. The unstructured abstract runs 200 words. Any consistent reference style is accepted at submission, and Taylor & Francis applies the journal style after acceptance. Spelling may be US or UK, used consistently. The editor screens each paper before at least two reviewers read it under double-anonymized review. Our editors hold one citation style and one spelling system from start to finish. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Criminal Justice Studies
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Criminal Justice Studies.
The journal's instructions for authors cover length, spelling, and references. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our legal editing services cover criminology and criminal justice research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Crime, Law and Social Change and Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research.
