The Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture is an on-line peer-reviewed academic journal highlighting research that focuses on the intersection of criminal justice and popular culture. We encourage submissions that explore how various forms of popular media (television, books, movies, comic books, music, etc.) interpret and communicate criminal justice themes and influence public perceptions of criminal justice ideology. Our journal is dedicated to multidisciplinary research, so authors from a wide variety of disciplines may submit manuscripts for review as long as their research is primarily focused on the popular mediation of criminal justice.
