Special Issue on

Criminal Psychology and Juvenile Delinquency

Criminal or forensic psychology is a branch of the field of psychology which focuses on criminals. Criminal psychologists can engage in a number of activities related to criminal investigations, ranging from creating profiles of offenders or victims based on available information to conducting psychological testing of people on trial for various crimes. Some criminal psychologists focus on working with children who commit crimes or who are victims of crime. They usually have degrees in child psychology and have pursued additional training in criminology and forensic psychology, and they may help children as patients in a clinical practice, testify about child criminals in court, or offer assistance to criminal investigations involving children.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring criminal psychology and juvenile delinquency. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Criminal psychology and forensic psychology
• Antisocial personality disorder
• Child criminals and juvenile delinquency
• Crime prevention
• Family education and school education
• Correctional psychology

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
