About the Journal

(De)constructing Criminology: International Perspectives (DCIP) is an international journal which publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed, and open access works in criminology and its adjacent disciplines.

The journal provides a broad forum to deconstruct criminology, its established power structures, and the dominant understandings of criminology and its adjacent disciplines.

DCIP welcomes research and scholarship in criminology that extends beyond the global west and north, or to extend understandings of decolonization, or to advance discussions or critiques of issues in crime, law, offending, victimisation, criminalisation, and our justice systems. DCIP also welcomes research and scholarship that speaks to how we create knowledge, transfer knowledge, and how it intersects with pedagogical approaches, practice, or research within criminology and its adjacent disciplines. 

DCIP is committed to removing barriers to publication and dissemination and to increasing access to knowledge for scholars, students, and practitioners. Thus DCIP will be particularly valuable for new and emerging scholars, students, as well as established scholars.
