New Criminal Law Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Criminal Law Review, subtitled "An International and Interdisciplinary Journal," is a quarterly law journal published by University of California Press, in Berkeley, California, United States. First published in 1997 as the Buffalo Criminal Law Review, New Criminal Law Review focuses on examinations of crime, philosophy of criminal law and punishment in domestic, transnational, and international contexts. The ISSN is 1933-4192.

The New Criminal Law Review is ranked as the world’s number one double-blind refereed criminal law review and is ranked as the tenth top refereed journal in the world (see Washington & Lee Law School, Law Journals: Submissions and Ranking, law.wlu.edu). It is the most widely cited criminal law review in the world and is refereed at the highest level by the most distinguished referees in the criminal law jurisprudence area. The journal's fame and eminence means it is able to attract referees of international standing. The journal was formerly published as the Buffalo Criminal Law Review, but changed names in 2007 after California University Press took responsibility for publishing the journal.
