Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts, in English, should be submitted to the Executive Editor by e-mail attachment: Dr. Jeffrey A. SchalerDepartment of Justice, Law and Society School of Public AffairsAmerican University4400 Massachusetts Ave., N.W.Washington, D.C. 20016-8043 U.S.A.e-mail: schaler@american.eduManuscripts should be checked for content and style (correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar; accuracy and consistency in the citation of figures, tables, and references; stylistic uniformity of entries in the References section; etc.), as the typesetter is instructed to follow (accepted) manuscripts as presented. Upon acceptance, the final manuscript should be provided electronically either as a disk file or preferably as an e-mail attachment. Page proofs are sent to the designated author for proofreading and checking. Typographical errors are corrected; authors' alterations are not allowed.
Copyright
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 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. 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.
Manuscript Style
Type double-spaced using generous margins on all sides. The entire manuscript, including quotations, references, figure-caption list, and tables, should be double-spaced. Manuscript length, except under unusual circumstances, should generally be about 4000¨C9000 words. Empirical articles should include standard sections, such as Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals, with the title page being page 1. In order to facilitate masked (previously termed "double-blind") review, leave all identifying information off the manuscript, including the title page and the electronic file name. Upon initial submission, the title page should include only the title of the article.An additional title page should be provided as a separate submission item and should include the title of the article, author's name, and author's affiliation. Academic affiliations of all authors should be included. 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. This title page should also include the complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the one author designated to review proofs. An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 200 words. A list of 3−5 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.
Illustrations
Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals, and cited in numerical order in the text. Photographs should be high-contrast and drawings should be dark, sharp, and clear. Artwork for each figure should be provided on a separate page. Each figure should have an accompanying caption. The captions for illustrations should be listed on a separate page.Tables should be numbered (with Arabic numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page. Center the title above the table, and type explanatory footnotes (indicated by superscript lowercase letters) below the table.All acknowledgments including those for grant and financial support should be typed in one separate paragraph (so-headed) that directly precedes the References section.
References
List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to strict APA style. In general, the journal follows the recommendations of the 2001 Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.), and it is suggested that contributors refer to this publication.For articles in a periodical, references in the citation list should include (in this order): last names and initials of all authors (for up to and including six authors), year published (in parentheses), title of article (roman type), name of publication (italics), volume number (italics), and inclusive pages (roman type). This format is illustrated by the following example: Journal Article

Footnotes
Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
No Page Charges
This 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 Springer's online platform, SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please visit 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 be published as regular subscription-model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
