Journal Information The Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology was founded in 1910 by Dean John Henry Wigmore, and has played a unique role in the criminal justice debate ever since. The journal provides a forum for dialogue and debate on current criminal law and criminology issues. The journal is one of the most widely read and cited legal publications in the world and is the third most widely subscribed journal published by any law school in the country. Its readership includes judges and legal academics, as well as practitioners, criminologists, and police officers. It publishes research in criminal law and criminology that addresses concerns pertinent to most of American society. The journal strives to publish the very best scholarship in this area, inspiring the intellectual debate and discussion essential to the development of social reform. Publisher Information Founded in 1859, the school that would become known as the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law was the first law school established in the city of Chicago. Today, Northwestern Law advances the understanding of law and produces graduates prepared to excel in a rapidly changing world. Northwestern Law uniquely blends a rigorous intellectual environment with a collegial and supportive community. Our students have access to the most interdisciplinary research faculty in the nation. We also have one of the lowest student-faculty ratios, so our students enjoy an unusual amount of individual access to these scholars, even after graduation. Our lakefront location in the heart of downtown Chicago provides a spectacular setting in which to live and study. A major world financial center, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States and one of its largest legal markets. Northwestern Law’s proximity to courts, commerce, and public interest activities enables students to experience the practice of law, as well as its theory, in one of the most vibrant legal and business communities in the world.
