Critical state-of-the-art reviews exploring a range of subjects concerning crime, its causes, and its cures.

Since 1979, Crime and Justice: A Review of Research has presented reviews of the latest international research in criminology and criminal justice, providing expertise to enhance the work of sociologists, psychologists, criminal lawyers, criminologists, and political scientists. Volume 54 publishes first-rate review essays by leading scholars that summarize what is known about both cutting-edge and enduring subjects, what needs to be known, and how that might be accomplished. The wide-ranging, multidisciplinary topics covered include crime trends, immigration and crime, mass incarceration, money laundering, penal policy in Eastern and Central Europe, criminal frauds, the concept of lesser eligibility, and W. E. B. Du Bois’s unheralded contributions to criminology.
