This forum of Nordic scientific work on criminology and crime prevention is published under the auspices of The Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology, together with the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish national Crime Prevention Councils. The Journal is actively searching for and encouraging Nordic authors to report in English, convinced that there is much scientifically interesting and relevant work, not easily available in standard international sources, that deserves to be published to the benefit of audiences not familiar with the Nordic languages. The journal aims to combine criminological and crime prevention oriented scientific work.

Features include: crime trends, violence research, prison studies, knowledge-based crime policy orientation, gender issues and economic crime. All articles have been peer reviewed.
