About the journal
Aims and scope of the Criminal Law Review
Criminal Law Review is the leading quality journal for all those involved in criminal law. Drawing all aspects of the law together in one regular publication, it allows quick and easy monitoring of all key developments.
- Keeps criminal lawyers up to date with new developments in law and practice
- Saves the time of searching through many sources for the latest commentary, cases and legislation
- Provides expert commentary on all important criminal law cases
- Includes longer articles analysing current trends and important changes in the law
Scope: Criminal Law Review is tailored to the needs of practitioner and academic criminal lawyers, providing expert articles and commentary on all aspects of the criminal law, evidence and criminal justice. Criminal Law Review is published monthly since 1954. Each issue contains approximately 90 pages. About half is devoted to articles and half to Case and Comment. Each issue begins with an editorial and there may also be current topics, Global Digest, book reviews. Since its foundation the Review has endeavoured to provide a swift and authoritative service for practitioners and to encourage the development of new ideas in criminal justice through its articles. Articles and Current Topics notes are welcomed from academics and practitioners alike. The Review's case reporting is designed to provide accurate summaries of all significant recent cases, and reports in the Review have often been cited judicially. Most cases are accompanied by a commentary, written by one of our three regular commentators, to assess the implications of the decision. The Review has a distinguished editorial board which is actively involved in the shaping of the journal. The board meets once a year to consider the previous year's issues and to discuss plans for the coming year. Members of the board undertake the task of acting as referees of articles submitted, and they also assist by generating material for the Review.
