Crime Prism

Crime Prism is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal published by the V3 Society of Criminology since January 2026. It publishes full-length research papers and review articles across the wide spectrum of crime and allied fields — from criminal behaviour, criminal justice and crime prevention to forensic sciences, cybercrime, financial institutions, environmental crime, child protection and human rights.

Double-Blind Peer Review Bi-Annual Issues Open Access (CC-BY) Student Special Issues International Scope

The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, brings out bi-annual issues with special issues dedicated to the student community, and supports open access under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) licence — so that scientific research remains accessible to one and all.

The Crime Prism journal website — with author guidelines, the manuscript submission portal, current and archived issues, and the editorial board — will be linked here shortly.
