Aims and scope

The Journal of Forensic Practice (JFP) provides a forum for researchers and practitioners on all aspects of forensic application across a range of forensic environments, such as prison services, forensic settings and private providers. JFP covers the practical application of theories and research to inform good practice for individuals and wider organizations. Multi-agency and multidisciplinary in its outlook, the journal includes perspectives from criminology, psychology and sociology in relation to the criminal and civil justice systems.

Contributions are welcomed internationally from academics, researchers, managers and practitioners in the forensic field. The journal publishes papers applying qualitative and quantitative approaches, and all papers published are double-anonymous peer-reviewed.

The journal was previously published as the British Journal of Forensic Practice.
