Samantha Halil, London Metropolitan University.

The Journal of Crime & Justice Dissertations (JCJD) is a London Met Lab project that was established in 2023. This website is designed to give students a space to share and showcase their academic work. In doing so, the JCJD hopes to encourage and inspire the next generation of social scientists.

All of the dissertations here are provided by students who have received a first-class result on their final dissertation projects from their respective university. The JCJD does not use a peer-review process, however, all works are sourced from reputable universities and grades are confirmed by project supervisors. The JCJD is interested in student work that focuses on social justice and social harm.

Each year the JCJD offers a prize for the author who has produced the best dissertation, further motivating students to get involved and to pursue their academic ambitions.
