The CJA Department, Jean and Charles Shultz Information Center, and Sonoma State University host the Western Criminology Review , the official journal of the Western Society of Criminology . The journal is actually archived on the Shultz Information Center web server. Paula Hammett is our Library faculty member who supports the journal in many ways. Patrick Jackson is Editor in Chief. The latest issue of the WCR deals with the topics of violence in the workplace, the efficacy of drug courts, and the portrayal of crime in Cyprus media.
Students can subscribe to an e-mail listserv to be informed about new releases.
Because of the generous support of SSU, this journal is made available to the world at no charge. The WCR is very popular and indexed in libraries and on web directories around the world. Students can enter papers in the student paper competition and can apply for travel money to go to the meetings. CJA students have attended WSC meetings over the past four years. The meeting this year is in Portland in late February.
