According to the data, \u201cYouth Violence and Juvenile Justice\u201d continues to climb the ranks. Two years ago, it broke the top-ten ranking for criminology journals; now, it has been named the fifth most influential journal in its field worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-edited by Caudill and Chad Trulson, Professor of Criminal Justice for the University of North Texas, the quarterly journal provides academic and juvenile justice practitioners with peer-reviewed research on programs, policies and practices in the areas of youth violence and juvenile justice. It particularly encourages the publication of program evaluations, policy analyses and empirical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ability to facilitate knowledge creation and dissemination is something I enjoy very much,\u201d Caudill said. \u201cHaving the opportunity to work with scholars from around the world is invaluable. We have a great editorial board and that makes our job so much easier. Also, we have remarkable support from the university, the School of Public Affairs, and our colleagues, which is meaningful in many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Reed, Dean of the School of Public Affairs, noted that the journal’s top-five nod \u201cis continuing evidence of the increasing prominence of our Criminal Justice program. Our faculty remain dedicated to providing great value to the field and, most importantly, to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
