Major emphasis is given on empirical research and scientific methodology.

published in our journal across all areas of criminology. The primary aim of the journal is to publish greek, scholarly and peer-reviewed criminology articles of the highest standard from many areas of expertise. We also publish non-peer reviewed criminology articles - offering the opportunity for less experienced criminologists to publish their work (Masters/Undergraduate Dissertation).

The target of the journal is broad and inclusive, embracing the wide diversity of thinking within criminology.

Journal's columns… some notes The “Art & Crime” column, provides the primary vehicle for exchanging ideas between scholars who are working on the intersections of criminological and cultural inquiry. It promotes a broad cross-disciplinary understanding of the relationship between crime and culture.

Columns devoted to Correction & Sentencing – “Stories through prison bars…”

The English publication We inaugurate the new version of the “The art of crime". From now on, the first english language issue of “the art of crime” can be read online. The need for communication and exchange of ideas with foreign scientists and the international community has prompted us to embark on this direction. The Journal offers a new perspective on Criminology in Greece. Our primary goal is to notify the views of criminologists and circulate their ideas through the internet, giving them a “comprehensible voice” without borders, to people and scientists from all nations.


Epilogue "Communicate and collaborate with us, recommend us,

comment on us, get to know us, correct us. Bearing in mind the saying that “the journal you read is your mirror” let us create, with your help, a range of reflections that will help the art of crime to enter into its 2nd year of life (hopefully have reached the 5th issue!) and to constitute an important final step of expression of modern penal and criminal realities. And the founders are all of you, our readers..."
