Archiwum Kryminologii

Aims & Scope

“Archiwum Kryminologii” (“Archives of Criminology”) is the oldest and the most prestigious Polish criminological journal, published since 1960 by the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The founder and the editor-in-chief was Professor Stanisław Batawia. Currently, Professor Witold Klaus serves as the editor-in-chief. The journal is published biannually, and it is bilingual (papers in Polish and English are accepted). During the year, the Editorial Board publishes two issues of the journal: a special–thematic one (prepared in cooperation with outstanding criminologists) and a general one. Submitted articles are sent for review. Accepted articles, after editing, are published in the online first (first view) model. The general issue is published at the end of the year and contains all articles accepted for publication in a given year. The special issue is published on dates specified in the editorial work schedule. The Editorial Committee of the journal consists of eminent European criminologists, and the reviewers are recruited from among experts in the field. The aim of the journal is to promote the outcomes of well-designed empirical research, as well as methodological and theoretical studies. Papers published in “Archiwum Kryminologii” (“Archives of Criminology”) focus on various topics: criminality and criminalisation, criminal and penal policy, the practices of criminal justice systems, victimisation and victims’ rights, crime prevention, juvenile delinquency, criminological theories etc. The journal constitutes a platform for scientific communication among academics, especially (but not exclusively) from Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries. Throughout its many years of existence, “Archiwum Kryminologii” (“Archives of Criminology”) has gained a prestigious position as a forum offering comparative views on criminology in Europe, bringing the perspective of Central and Eastern European countries in particular.
