Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice is an interdisciplinary academic journal that examines the intersection of psychology and criminal justice. APCJ is published twice a year and is available in both print and electronic versions. Our expedited review process allows for a thorough analysis by expert peer-reviewers within a timeline that is much more favorable than many other academic publications. Further, once an article is accepted, the "time to publication" is significantly less than other journals as a result of our focus on electronic media.
