Manuscript Editing for Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice Journal Articles
Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice gives academics and practitioners in juvenile justice a place to publish current empirical research, with emphasis on serious and violent juvenile offenders. Related topics include recidivism, institutional violence, risk assessment, psychopathy, self-control, and gang membership. Sage publishes it quarterly, and its co-editors are at Sam Houston State University.
Original research articles run under 35 pages, counting notes, references, tables, and figures. Research notes run 20 pages at most, with no more than three tables or figures. An unstructured abstract of 100 to 150 words comes first, with at least four keywords, and author bios run 50 to 75 words. References follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition. Review is double-anonymized, and a Revise or Accept decision needs two independent reviews. Our editors fit the paper to its page limit and apply APA 7 throughout. Submissions go through Sage Track.
