"Essential reading... and a fantastic addition to forensic professional literature."

(Professor Tony Ward, Head of School, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand)

The Journal of Forensic Practice offers a constructive and challenging interpretation of a wide range of research and forensic practice that informs ways of working for both individuals and wider organisations. Its content relates to criminology, psychology and evidence-based practice.

The journal is peer reviewed and both multi-agency and multidisciplinary in its outlook. In addition to refereed articles, the editors also welcome papers giving viewpoints and perspectives from practitioners and commentators on/in the criminal and civil justice systems. Contributions are invited from researchers, managers and practitioners in the forensic field.

Coverage

The journal is committed to keeping professionals up to date and we welcome submissions on all aspects of forensic application across a range of forensic environments, such as prison services, NHS forensic settings, private providers and private practice.
