Criminology: Voyages of Critical Discovery
Hosted by Plymouth University
Editor’s Note
In 2015 the British Society of Criminology Conference was hosted by Plymouth University. Held from 30 June-3 July the conference had the title “Criminology: Voyages of Critical Discovery”. Fifteen papers were submitted to this conference journal, with six being accepted for publication. As always the journal has a rigorous peer-review process but (hopefully) a sympathetic approach to authors – especially early career and postgraduate authors – with helpful feedback and advice, even if a paper is rejected. There is a tight timetable in order to publish the same year as the conference and so we are hugely indebted to the reviewers and the authors for turning things around so promptly. Many interesting papers were rejected purely because tight deadlines did not allow enough polishing time.
