African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies

ISSN 1554-3897

The African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies (AJCJS) is a highly respected academic publication and the official voice of the African Criminology and Justice Association (ACJA). Scholars and academics have relied on the journal since its inception in 2005 to advance knowledge about African criminology and criminal justice studies. The journal has been instrumental in promoting African perspectives and has made invaluable contributions to the discipline.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) has proudly sponsored, hosted, and published the journal since its first issue. Previously published articles on criminology and justice studies in Africa can be retrieved from https://wwwcp.umes.edu/ajcjs/. Starting in the Fall of 2023, Texas Southern University (TSU) became the new host and publisher of the journal, sponsored by the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs. However, it is essential to note that the views expressed in the journal are those of the authors and not necessarily representative of the association.

The former editor-in-chief, Dr. Biko Agozino, envisioned the journal as a means to promote African perspectives in criminology and criminal justice studies. The current editor-in-chief, Dr. Ihekwoaba Declan Onwudiwe, upholds this vision. The journal is open to scholars worldwide who wish to contribute articles on criminology, criminal justice, peace and conflict, security dimensions, and other topics related to Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, and global society with implications for Africa. The journal aims to foster scholarly dialogues that address questions about Africa while including scholarly work with expertise in other regions.

In conclusion, the African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies (AJCJS) is an invaluable resource for scholars and academics seeking to advance knowledge about criminology and justice studies in Africa and the African Diaspora. With its rich history and commitment to promoting African perspectives and comparative approaches, the journal is poised to continue making significant contributions to the discipline.

Call for Papers Special Issue: United States Election 2020 and Its Consequences for Democracy.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Ralph Bunche Journal of Public Affairs is dedicating a special issue to the United States election 2020 and its consequences for democracy. While 160 million people voted and registered their voices in last year’s election, voter intimidation and racial disparities in access to the ballot continued, thusly showing not only a deterioration in the election system’s effectiveness, but the unprecedented attempts to delegitimize and overturn the election results in some states led to a democracy crisis that has never been experienced in the United States. Although the 2020 election is over and all the Electoral College votes were eventually counted by Congress, efforts to subvert American democracy are on the rise. According to a United States Democracy Center report, as of June 2021 about 216 pieces of legislation were introduced in 41 states, including Texas that would impede election administration in the affected jurisdictions.

The Journal hopes to expand the understanding of lessons learned and offer recommendations for future elections. In view of this, the call for papers invites manuscripts that not only address the 2020 election’s problems and challenges, but also preventive reforms and recommendations based on lessons learned. The Journal also highly encourages submissions that explore the election administration, voter suppression, ballot accessibility, and felony disenfranchisement laws, among others. Additionally, it invites manuscripts that offer prescriptions to reforming the United States election system and various ways to eliminate barriers to voting.
