An academic journal edited by a University of Queensland criminologist is now ranked third in the world in its field. The Journal of Experimental Criminology is edited by Professor Lorraine Mazerolle , from the School of Social Science and the UQ-administered Life Course Centre , whose research interests include policing, drug law enforcement, regulatory crime control and crime prevention. Professor Mazerolle said the journal, published by Springer, is the official journal of the Division of Experimental Criminology of the American Society of Criminology and focuses on high-quality research in the development of evidence-based crime and justice policy. "The number-three ranking is a huge achievement in the world of criminology and penology publishing, and provides a major boost to UQ's international standing in the field," Professor Mazerolle said. "The jump in our global ranking is the result of steady growth of the journal as a whole, rather than the popularity of single articles. "This rising international ranking also reflects the journal's innovative international focus on building the evidence base to better understand and respond to crime problems." Professor Mazerolle said the journal's total impact ranking had increased significantly to 3.912 for the 2017 year, up from 2.170 in 2016. The journal also received a total of 993 international citations last year.
