About the journal
Journal of Quantitative Criminology focuses on research advances from such fields as statistics, sociology, geography, political science, economics, and engineering. This timely journal publishes papers that apply quantitative techniques of all levels of complexity to substantive, methodological, or evaluative concerns of interest to the criminological community. Features include original research, brief methodological critiques, and papers that explore new directions for studying a broad range of criminological topics.

Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible. The copyright applies only to material in the journal, and not to ancillary material located on web sites.
Type double−spaced, and submit the original and three copies (including, where possible, copies of all illustrations and tables).
Title Page
A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, author‘s name (no degrees), author‘s affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author‘s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes the title page should include the complete mailing address and telephone number of the one author designated to review proofs.
Key Words
A list of 4−−5 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
Mathematical Notation
Mathematical notation should be typewritten wherever possible. If handwritten notation must be used, it should be clear and legible, with any necessary explanatory notes located in the margin. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses and should be thusly referred to in the text. Equation references in the text should be abbreviated such as: As shown in Eq. (5), the model . . ..
Sections
All sections should be numbered with Arabic numerals (such as 1. INTRODUCTION). Subsections should be identified with section and subsection numbers (such as 6.1. Second−Value Subheading). An independent single−number system (one for each category) should be used to label all theorems, propositions, corollaries, definitions, remarks, examples, etc. The label (such as Theorem 4) should be typed with paragraph indentation, followed by a period and the theorem itself.
Figures
Figures or illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts), are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals (e.g., Fig. 3). The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. Figures should be prepared with india ink or some other clear, high−contrast process (e.g., laser printer). Either original drawings or good−quality photographic prints are acceptable. Identify figures on the back with author‘s name and number of the illustration. Figure captions are abbreviated (e.g., Fig. 3. Time series plot). Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in the TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half−tones and gray−scale art). Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk.
Tables
Tables should be numbered (preferably with roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text (without abbreviation). Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
Citations
Citations within the text should be styled as: Jones (1987) or (Jones, 1987), whichever is appropriate. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. (e.g., Jones et al., 1983). Specific page citations in the text should be styled as: Jones (1987, pp. 108−−109) or (Jones, 1987, 118−−119).
List References
List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. References should include (in this order): last names and initials of all authors, year published, title of article, name of publication, volume number, and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the journal, illustrated by the following examples:
Journal Article
Kadane, J. B. (1983). Juries hearing death penalty cases: Statistical analysis of a legal procedure. J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 78: 544−−552.
Book
Sampson, E. E. (1983). Justice and the Critique of Pure Psychology, Plenum Press, New York.
Contribution to a Book
Tapp, J. L., and Melton, G. B. (1983). Preparing children for decision making: Implications of legal socialization research. In Melton, G. B., Koocher, G. P., and Saks, M. J. (eds.), Children‘s Competence to Consent, Plenum Press, New York, pp. 215−−234.
General
The journal uses gender−neutral language whenever appropriate.
Authors are strongly encouraged to archive their data or otherwise to make them available.
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor‘s Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information−software, journal name, and first author‘s last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor‘s Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard−copy manuscript.
Page Charges
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
Springer Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription−based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springers online platform SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please click on the link below to complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will publish as regular subscription−model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
