The African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies is the official organ of the African Criminology and Justice Association. Still, the opinions expressed in the journal are those of the authors and are not necessarily representative of the association's views.
According to Dr. Biko Agozino, former Editor-In-Chief, the journal is here to fill a void in existing knowledge by exposing the discipline to knowledge about and from Africa and Africans worldwide that could enrich the discipline in a progressive direction. For too long has criminology continued as a discipline designed almost exclusively by others with little or no acknowledgment of the actual and potential contributions from African sources.
