Call for Manuscripts on the Globalization of Juvenile Justice
The Journal of the Institute of Justice & International Studies
The Journal of the Institute of Justice & International Studies (JIJIS) is inviting
manuscripts for Issue 14 that engage the theme of topics in Juvenile Justice that span various
dimensions across nations, cultures, or programs. One interpretation of this is the universality of
juvenile justice and the challenges that countries face in the effort to find the most successful and
effective ways to deal with at-risk and offending youth. The Globalization of Juvenile Justice can take
broader approaches, beyond the formal juvenile justice process, for dealing with troubled children.
These could include programs that embrace the care of our troubled youth across all spectrums,
addressing a variety of questions: How can delinquency be prevented in the first place? What roles
can families and schools, among others, play in the prevention of juvenile delinquency? How can it be
ensured that at-risk youth become no risk? How do various agencies and organizations that deal with
children cross over to provide the best treatment and care for a nation’s youth. How are efforts
optimized to give children –especially troubled children -whether it is the children of the world, the
children of one country or of one community – the best chance at the futures they deserve?
Such questions and issues on the current challenges to juvenile justice fit within the overall
focus of this special issue of JIJIS to address the host of aspects of this theme of the
Globalization of Juvenile Justice. Manuscripts can be theoretical, methodological, or empirical in
their scope. Welcome are perspectives from any related discipline such as criminal justice,
criminology, education, juvenile justice, social work, legal studies, justice studies, and the behavioral
and social sciences. Priority in the selection process will be given to papers that consider a
comparative dimension – e.g. cross-cultural and intercultural methodologies, analytical perspectives,
or pedagogic approaches.
