The journal is intended to provide a forum for the development and dissemination of new ideas, approaches, and critiques. Some JPJ editions will be topical and cover such issues as the impact of United States incarceration policies, sentencing reform, drug policies, and juvenile justice policy. Submissions on these topics are strongly encouraged. Stipends of $500 will be provided for each article accepted for publication. JPJ also encourages individuals to submit brief commentaries, reviews of current legislative initiatives, and news briefs. The length of these reports may vary, but should be in the range of 600 to 1200 words. Submission Guidelines Updated 12/15/00 Submissions to the JPJ (Justice Policy Journal) should have a title page, abstract, brief biographical sketch, a statement of research interest and an e-mail address. Send the document via e-mail as an attachment to [email protected], or postal service on a disk, preferably an Iomega Zip disk, to: Justice Policy Journal, 1622 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, 415/621-5661. Manuscripts not submitted electronically will not be accepted. Manuscripts submitted via e-mail should be sent to JPJ in original word processing format. JPJ prefers the use of Microsoft Word, but other word processing document formats may be acceptable. Separate files, files on the same disk or separate files in the attachment of an e-mail should be sent for graphics, sound and files other than the narrative of the document. Separate tables or graphs must be submitted in Excel or a similar spreadsheet program. If your manuscript includes tables, graphs or graphics that can be printed, please send a printed copy of them on paper via postal delivery. Our concern is that the graphics received are the same as you intend to send, and that they will translate through the web as such. On some occasions hard copy is useful to check this. As numerous e-mail programs exist to send manuscripts as attachments, we suggest Eudora software to do so, which is PC and Macintosh compatible. Shareware is available for download at http://www.eudora.com. A descriptive title and an abstract of no more than 250 words must accompany the title page of all manuscripts submitted. The abstract should be a brief summary of the paper including, where appropriate, statement of problem, methods, and results. Authors should also include a brief (no more than 100 words) biographical sketch, including institutional affiliation, postal address, acknowledgements, research interests, an e-mail address, and web page address (if applicable). The order of the document should be as follows: title page (with name of authors), abstract, biographical sketch, e-mail and postal address, text, references, figures/tables, and endnotes. If you have any questions or problems, please contact Jill Herschman, JPJ's Webmaster, prior to submission. Preparation & Citation Style JPJ articles submissions should be prepared in accordance with the either the Modern Language Association or American Psychological Association documentation style for scholarly manuscripts and research papers. For information regarding the desired citation style, authors should consult the appropriate manual. Strict adherence to proper citation style is required. Papers that do not conform to one of the accepted styles will not be accepted. Editorial Statement Justice Policy Journal uses a "blind" review system.

After determining that a manuscript is appropriate for the journal, the manuscript will be reviewed. Independent referees may evaluate manuscripts by members of the Editorial Advisory Board. The review process generally takes approximately four weeks from the date of receipt of the manuscript. To ensure that the review and notification process proceeds smoothly, authors should follow the submission guidelines. Submission to Justice Policy Journal implies that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere, is currently or was previously placed on the Internet, or that it is under consideration by another journal or publication outlet.
