The Criminal Law Review (Crim LR) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Sweet & Maxwell. It is the leading [1] journal of criminal law in England and Wales providing both scholarly analysis and practitioner updates.
The journal holds significant influence in both academic and professional circles, and is curated to “keep criminal lawyers up to date with new developments in law and practice” while also advancing scholarly debate. [2]
The journal's editorial scope spans the full spectrum of criminal law and criminal justice, with a primary focus on the law of England and Wales (and coverage of UK-wide issues). [3] It is indexed by the Washington and Lee Law School. [4]
