Iustitia Criminal Science is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on the study of criminal law and criminal justice systems from doctrinal, socio-legal, and comparative perspectives. The journal publishes original research that examines the transformation of criminal law and law enforcement practices, both within national jurisdictions and in comparative or transnational contexts. The journal prioritizes manuscripts that offer theoretical or practical novelty, contribute to criminal law policy and reform, and employ methodological approaches beyond conventional doctrinal analysis — including empirical, comparative, and interdisciplinary studies. Particular attention is given to restorative justice, penal reform, legal pluralism, and the interaction between state criminal law and local, customary, or religious normative systems. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
