About the Journal

The Pakistan Journal of Criminal Justice is a peer-reviewed publication offering research on a diverse array of ideas and contemporary issues primarily in Criminal Justice and criminology, but it also covers almost all the topics of law. PJCJ is intended to fulfill the need for the dissemination of new ideas, methods, and information, to both academicians and practitioners in the area of Criminal Justice. The journal publishes theoretical pieces, empirical as well as quantitative research in the areas ranging from policing to sentencing, penalties and prisons, organized crimes and terrorism, review of legislations and landmark judgments, and crime prevention to the victims of the crime. This journal provides a forum for young researchers and established academicians to put forth their perspectives on criminal justice and criminology. We would hope to see an increased interest in the criminal justice field through the publication of this journal.
