When we took over as Editors in Chief of Criminology and Criminal Justice in 2015, our goal was to build on the work of our predecessor Professor Adam Crawford who worked with his superb editorial team to secure CCJ’s standing as one of the top Criminology journals in the UK. Our vision was to embolden this standing further by raising the impact of CCJ in scholarship, policy, practice and through citation; to promote the work of early career scholars; to nurture and publish international scholarship; to maintain the quality of theoretical and analytical work, and to embed a commitment to peer review that was both thorough and humane. The behind the scenes work we do, which one of our former Editors in Chief (Professor Sarah Armstrong) referred to as the ‘hidden emotional and free labour’, has been incredibly interesting, rewarding and a privilege. We are proud of our achievements, particularly in raising the journal’s impact factor to the highest it has ever been.

告别编辑组

当我们接任犯罪学和刑事司法总编辑时2015年，我们的目标是在我们前任教授Adam Crawford教授的工作基础上，他与他精湛的编辑团队一起工作，以确保CCJ成为英国顶级犯罪学期刊之一。我们的愿景是通过提高CCJ在学术，政策，实践和引用方面的影响力来进一步巩固这一地位。促进早期职业学者的工作；培育和发表国际奖学金；保持理论和分析工作的质量，并承诺进行全面而人道的同行评审。我们所做的幕后工作被我们的前总编辑之一（萨拉·阿姆斯特朗教授）称为“隐藏的情绪化和自由劳动”，它令人难以置信地有趣，令人鼓舞和特权。我们为自己的成就感到自豪，
