The journal is the first scholarly periodical to focus on specifically African criminal justice issues.[1] It has attempted to create an "Africana criminology", although this concept has mainly stayed outside the mainstream.[2] The journal is published at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. The editor-in-chief as of 2011 is Biko Agozino (University of the West Indies).[3][4]
