Criminal Justice Matters
Criminal Justice Matters (cjm) is the Centre's quarterly magazine, publishing articles that explore contemporary developments relating to political debate, policy and research. The magazine prioritises commentary and discussion of policy developments over articles focused solely on research findings.
The production of cjm will be paused for one year at the end of 2015. During this year off the Centre will be reviewing the magazine and developing plans for the launch of a new, improved cjm in 2017.
