Manuscript Editing for International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology Articles
The International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology is an interdisciplinary forum for research on crime, delinquency, rehabilitation, and justice, with attention to international and comparative perspectives. Its readers include therapists, counselors, forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, criminologists, and policymakers. Topics include violent crime, sexual offending, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, and risk assessment, with emphasis on treating the offender in theory and clinical practice. Sage publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at Sam Houston State University.
Original research runs about 30 double-spaced pages and review papers about 40, counting tables, figures, and references. Replications are welcome, including those with null or unexpected findings. An unstructured abstract of 150 words or fewer precedes the main text, followed by at least five keywords. References follow APA style, and every citation in the text matches an entry in the reference list. Endnotes are preferred to footnotes. The manuscript is fully anonymized, with author details and a running head on a separate title page. A Statements and Declarations section covers ethics, consent, conflicts of interest, funding, and data availability. Two independent reviews under double-anonymized review precede any Revise or Accept decision. Submissions go through Sage Track.
