About the Journal

The first issue of the journal Crimen was published in 2010, with the aim of covering the field of criminal law, criminal justice, criminology, and related disciplines (forensic science, penology, victimology) as a scientific journal that is open to contributions from both academics and practitioners. From the beginning, the journal has included sections such as "Articles," "From the History of Criminal Sciences," and "Reviews," and it occasionally publishes scientific critiques, reflections, and contributions on the state of criminal legislation and practice. The journal is intended for decision-makers who influence the functioning of the criminal justice system, members of the academic community, practitioners, and researchers in the field of crime control. The focus is primarily on criminal justice, but also on the social, political, and economic aspects of its operation, which includes the study of offenders engaging in unlawful and related behaviors, victims, courts, and the entire system of enforcing criminal sanctions. Issues may also be dedicated to specific current topics.

The journal is published three times a year (April, September, and December). Articles are published in Serbian or in English language.

The founders and first editors of the journal Crimen (2010-2024) are Prof. dr. Zoran Stojanović and Prof. dr. Đorđe Ignjatović.
