Justice Center Working Papers, an occasional papers series of the Justice Center at University of Alaska Anchorage, is designed for faculty, staff, and exceptional students from UAA to present research on issues of crime, law, and justice to the world. The series' original coordinator was Dr. Darryl S. Wood, who initiated Justice Center Working Papers in 2005.

Three types of papers are included in this collection:

• Research findings that are in a preliminary stage that will eventually be submitted for publication in refereed journals;
• Technical documents with an in-depth focus upon innovative research methodologies; and
• Research reports that are primarily of interest only to researchers and practitioners in Anchorage or the state of Alaska.

These papers are presented “as is” without any formal peer-review. Readers of these papers are therefore expected to judge these papers accordingly.

Submitting a paper

University of Alaska Anchorage faculty, staff, and students (upon nomination by a faculty member) are encouraged to submit their research on issues of crime, law, and justice for publication in these working papers.

Papers for submission that are in a final edited format should be forwarded in Adobe Acrobat format to ayjust@uaa.alaska.edu. Once submitted, papers are posted on the web without review or further editing.

All papers should include a 100 to 200 word abstract as well as two or three keywords describing the subject of the paper.
