An academic and professional e-journal |
The Journal of Ethics in Policing is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international electronic journal aimed at both the academic and the professional. Its primary aim is to provide a forum where authors can explore issues surrounding the ethical and moral dilemmas experienced by those engaged in law enforcement activities. All submitted articles will be peer reviewed and must meet rigorous standards. They can represent a broad range of substantive topics, theoretical and professional orientations, empirical methods, and analytic strategies. The journal will be published on a regular basis and, as an electronic journal, we say with confidence that the time between acceptance and publication of submissions will be considerably shorter than that of many print journals. If you have any questions regarding the journal or submission requirements, please review the relevant sections of this website or contact us directly at: editor@ethicsinpolicing.com

Copyright
It is a condition of publication in the Journal that authors grant an exclusive licence to the publisher EthicsinPolicing. This helps to ensure that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. As part of the licence agreement, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that The Journal of Ethics in Policing is acknowledged as the original place of publication.
References
References should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper, giving the names of journals in full. Titles and subtitles of articles, books, and journals should have main words capitalized. Titles of books and journals will be printed in italics

In the text, the name of the author and date of publication should be cited as in the Harvard system (e.g. Kleinig 1996: 25-7; Cohen and Feldberg 1991: 121-9). If there are more than three authors, the first name followed by et al. is permissible in the text but the names should be spelt out in full in the References
