About the Journal of Gang Research
The Journal of Gang Research is an interdisciplinary journal and it is the official publication of the National Gang Crime Research Center (NGCRC). It is a peer-reviewed quarterly professional journal and the editors are well-known gang researchers or gang experts. It is abstracted in a number of different social sciences, including but not limited to: Sociological Abstracts (American Sociological Association), Psychological Abstracts (American Psychological Association), Criminal Justice Abstracts, National Criminal Justice Reference Service, Social Service Abstracts, and others.
For over fifteen years, the Journal of Gang Research has published original research, book reviews and interviews dealing with gangs and gang problems. These publications have included a wide range of topical areas including promising theory, scientifically sound research, and useful policy analysis related to gangs and gang problems. A list of the articles previously published in the Journal of Gang Research is published in this voluminous text file.
Librarians are able to order the Journal of Gang Research through EBSCO, AOBC, Divine, Harrassowitz, Business Magazine Subscriptions, Blackwell — in short, many of the major subscription services. Librarians can also order “back issues” of the journal. So if you need access to the Journal of Gang Research, then what you need to do is contact your local college/university or public library, ask for the “acquisitions librarian” or the “serials librarian”. They can order it through any of the subscription services the library uses.
Do you want to have access to the Journal of Gang Research and the new “gang profiles” that are published in the future? The best way to do this is to ask your local librarian to subscribe to the Journal of Gang Research. Then your local library has the publication and it is accessible to you.
Currently, there are a number of important new research initiatives underway or in planning, the results of which are clearly likely to fundamentally change the nature of what we know about gangs and gang threats. Such initiatives include “cross national gangs”, gangs that operate across national borders and which operate inside or pose a threat to the United States of America, as well as new types of gangs, new approaches to old gang problems, and new developments in the arena of social policy on gangs as well.
The Journal of Gang Research particularly wants to encourage other gang analysts to contact the NGCRC if they are interested in working on a gang threat analysis of any type of violent criminal gang in any jurisdiction. Sometimes the NGCRC will assist with profile development, based on the many types of information it has developed over the years. The NGCRC does accept nominations for gang threat analysis as well: if a particular gang is presenting a growing problem in your jurisdiction, consider nominating it for a full gang profile analysis. To do this, simply write a letter to that effect to the NGCRC, PO Box 990, Peotone, IL 60468-0990.
The journal may be ordered directly from the NGCRC (see subscription form at the end of this file) or through any of the major subscription services: EBSCO, Harrassowitz, etc. A subscription form is included at the end of this file.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The Journal of Gang Research is now in its 13th year as a professional interdisciplinary quarterly and is the official publication of the National Gang Crime Research Center. The Journal of Gang Research is interdisciplinary. It is widely abstracted (Sociological Abstracts, Criminal Justice Abstracts, Psychological Abstracts, etc). It publishes original research on gangs, gang members, gang problems, gang crime patterns, gang prevention, and basically any gang issue (policy, etc).
Authors should submit four (4) copies of the paper in ASA or APA format to: George W. Knox, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Gang Research, National Gang Crime Research Center, Post Office Box 990, Peotone, IL 60468l-0990. The review process takes between 2 to 3 months; sometimes longer.
SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED Q & A INFORMATION FOR SUBSCRIBERS AND SUBSCRIPTION AGENCIES
Q: We are from a subscription company, can I just call in a question I have about one of our subscribers?
A: Sadly, no, we prefer written inquiries: mail your inquiry to: Journal of Gang Research, NGCRC, PO Box 990, Peotone, IL 60468.
Q: We sent in a check for a subscription, but it has not yet been cashed, is there a problem?
A: No, we sometimes wait until depositing checks until shortly before we are ready to mail out the next issue of the journal. We are a quarterly, so we update routine subscriptions/renewals also on a quarterly basis.
Q: I am a subscriber through a subscription company, when does my subscription expire?
A: We send out an individualized letter to each and every subscriber (new and renewing) each time there is a transaction: e.g., payment received for a new or continuing subscription. In that letter, we indicate the start and end of the paid up subscription period.
Q: What is the current one year subscription price (USC) for U.S.A. addresses including postage?
A: $150 per year. ($225 per year for any subscriber who is located outside of the U.S.A.).
Q: Has the journal achieved the kind of strong and interdisciplinary intellectual recognition it needs in order to be widely abstracted in the social sciences?
A: Yes.
Q: Does the journal have any special subscription rates for proprietary “abstracting services” or journal information companies and private firms who want to subscribe to the journal for commercial purposes and be able to offer their own kinds of “abstracting services” outside of the professional bodies that are already abstracting this journal?
A: Yes, the journal may be able to accommodate such private companies outside of academia, please inquire; please note, however, that the subscription rates for private, or for profit, or proprietary “abstracting companies” are significantly higher than the rates for regular subscribers. And, further, special “conditions” may apply: the Journal of Gang Research may insist upon a signed agreement to make certain the proprietary abstracting service is not going to abuse the NGCRC copyrights. Of course, depending on the transparency and openness of companies inquiring about such an option, the NGCRC reserves the right to refuse such services and terminate the subscription at any time an abuse is suspected.
Q: Do you permit blind subscriptions by agencies with a U.S. mailing address who can then reship the journal abroad or to a cloaked subscriber?
A: No, we need to know who our subscribers are.
Q: What is the number of issues per year (frequency) and which months are they published in?
A: The Journal of Gang Research is a “quarterly”: thus, four (4) times a year is the frequency at which the journal is published. The months it is published in here is defined as the months in which each issue is actually “mailed” out using the United States Postal Service, and those months are the four seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. E.G.: the fall issue is always mailed in “fall” which means between Sept. 22nd and December 20th. The Fall issue is always the sequence of issue number “1" within a volume. Thus, “issue number 4" will always be the “Summer” issue within a volume.
Q: Is there an agency or individual or special government discount or reduced student rate or reduced “bulk” rate or any special “member” rate or professional association membership discount?
A: No.
Q: Are there reduced rates for “multi-year” subscriptions?
A: No.
Q: If a subscriber “loses” a copy of the journal from its collection, or if it is destroyed or stolen, is it replaced free of charge?
A: No, you must purchase a replacement copy.
Q: What is the cost for individual replacement back issue copies?
A: See the price structure in this file at this URL.
Q: Is there an online full text edition?
A: No, not at this time, we are in the process of developing that option.
Q: What languages is the Journal of Gang Research available in?
A: English only.
Q: What is the claim deadline for missing issues to be submitted?
A: As everyone knows this is a “quarterly”, it seems reasonable to have a 90 day period for this type of claim: thus, any claim received in more than 3 months after the issue should have been received would not be given a free replacement for a claim that it was lost or stolen through the U.S. Mails.
There is a special “claim form” that the subscriber must complete and sign and attest to: affirming that their library never received the issue in question through the U.S. Mails.
Q: Do we accept cancellations?
A: Surely, prorated to the time the cancellation is received. Ask for a “cancellation request form”. We do not accept returned merchandise (copies of the journal received by the subscriber and then mailed back to us).
Q: Does the subscription begin with the next issue after the order is received or can we back start (retroactively apply) the subscription?
A: Both are possible. One can backdate the subscription for most issues of the journal to almost Volume 4, Number 1, Fall 1996. We cannot guarantee all issues between Vol. 4, No. 1 and the present are “in stock”: thus we reserve the right to substitute another issue of the journal in case we are out of stock of a copy that occurs within the sequence of a retroactive order. Note: the rates for back issues apply to anyone who is an existing subscriber and wants back issues. Note: starting a subscription retroactively to any point up to Volume 4, Number 1 and paying the regular yearly subscription rates is available only to new subscribers and this is a domestic U.S. rate only. The Journal is not offering the retroactive start option to subscribers who are not located in the USA.
Q: Do you allow blind subscriptions (i.e., can we have subscription company order it, you send it to the subscription company, and they forward it to us)?
A: No. For good cause, we need to know our subscribers.
Q: Are there free replacements for copies damaged by weather or natural disasters through the U.S. Postal Service delivery system?
A: Yes. Limited to a 30 day time period after receipt of said journal by the subscriber
Q: Do you accept Purchase Orders (a promise to pay in the near future or upon completion of the subscription)?
A: From government agencies only.
Q: Is there a cost-effective method available from the Journal of Gang Research for a library or a private research agency to acquire individual copies of specific articles previously published in the Journal of Gang Research from Volume Number 1, Issue Number 1 to the present?
A: Yes, see that section for “ordering information” in this file.
The Right to Refuse Service or to Do Business: The Journal of Gang Research Policy on Subscriptions, Subscription Companies, Foreign Subscribers, etc:
It has been the policy of the NGCRC to exercise due diligence and consideration with regard to certain problematic situations arising in the context of persons, companies, governments seeking a subscription to or to do business with the Journal of Gang Research. The Journal of Gang Research publicly declared the country of South Africa, during the Apartheid Regime, to be ineligible to subscribe to our journal, and the NGCRC refused to do business with South African police agencies at the time, due to the issue of international human rights. Because of situations such as that and other good causes and the simple right to refuse service directly to subscribers and through subscription companies based on our judgment of what is best for us, the Journal of Gang Research reserves the right to refuse service to customers applying for new subscriptions. The Journal of Gang Research reserves the right to refuse to do business with or to continue to do business with subscription companies for any reason. The Journal of Gang Research reserves the right to refuse to provide subscriptions to any country designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. State Department or to any country currently facing sanctions from the United States of America.
Journal Subscription Policy on Claims for Replacement Copies and Lost/Non-Received Copies of the Journal of Gang Research:
Given the importance of the subject matter of gangs and violence, gangs and terrorism, etc, the types of topics that routinely appear in the Journal of Gang Research, it is reasonable to believe that among those persons likely to steal items from a library, they might be particularly likely to steal the kind of journal we publish. We have noticed that some subscribers use a third party method of declaring that they did not receive a copy of the journal, and because it appears to disappear or not arrive at some subscriber locations (more so than others), we have instituted the Special Security Subscription Service (SSSS). Such third party declarations of loss are not sufficient in themselves after this date, and any declaration of loss or non-receipt of an issue of our journal shall require the actual subscriber to provide such a statement of non-receipt. If a pattern of “losses” are associated with a subscriber, we will not renew under regular journal subscription prices and will instead insist that any renewal is made on the basis of greater security in providing proof of delivery to the subscriber. The Special Security Subscriptions cost an additional $40 per year (to cover the extra cost in special handling: registered mail, return receipt). Regular domestic journal subscription prices assume the journal is handled through regular U.S. Postal Service mail delivery rates that do not require proof of delivery as in the use of certified mail and a Return Receipt Signature Card. The SSSS is available within the USA. For orders outside of the USA, the equivalent is the International Secure Subscription Service (ISSS), and because it involves a greater cost for ensuring “signature” based product delivery outside of the USA, the cost is an additional $80 per year (to cover the extra costs involved in this special handling).
The NGCRC as publisher of the Journal of Gang Research reserves the right to insist that any subscriber foreign or domestic, after a pattern of excessive claims for lost on non-delivered journals, be automatically converted to a SSSS or ISSS subscription. The NGCRC has noticed that such “claims” tend to stop when there is absolute “signature” proof of delivery of the journal to its intended destination.
Additionally, we have also had the need to formalize our reporting policy in this regard because we have reason to believe it is in the interests of all concerned to have facts about losses. Henceforth, it shall be the policy of the NGCRC to provide free replacements of single issues of the journal if and only if the following conditions are met: (1) the subscriber signs a “Non-Receipt of the Journal of Gang Research Form”, this form is basically a statement to the effect that if the NGCRC did mail the journal issue out by U.S. Postal Service it was in fact never received at the destination making a claim, and it must bear the name and signature of the claimant, (2) upon receipt of the Non-Receipt Form, the NGCRC will provide a free replacement issue if and only if the claim is made within 100 days. We have given the figure of 100 days intentionally: our journal has never been late in publishing, the issues are always mailed out in the same season they purport to represent (Fall: Oct. 21.- Dec.20; Winter: Dec. 21-Mar.20; Spring: Mar. 21-June 20; Summer: June 21-Oct. 20). Thus, a subscriber could have always known something was wrong with regard to receipt if they had not received a Fall issue of the journal by Dec. 20th, and they did in fact receive a subsequent Winter issue say on Feb. 26th. Thus, we will not honor replacement claims for losses through the U.S. mail made to the NGCRC after a period that exceeds 100 days after which the issue in question was actually mailed out. This gives more than sufficient time for any reasonable subscriber to notice they are missing an issue in their sequence.
Please take note that the NGCRC does not provide free replacements for lost or stolen copies of the journal after they have been received by the subscriber. The NGCRC does maintain a back issue capability to provide replacement issues at a reasonable rate (usually $75 per issue if it is a recent issue, this could be more if it is an older issue; these are domestic rates, please inquire in writing for rates in terms of delivery outside of the USA). This is why we insist on a signed statement that the journal issue in question was never received by the subscriber through the U.S. Postal Service delivery system before the NGCRC will provide a free replacement issue. When it is the first such claim of a loss from a subscriber we assume that even if our investigation shows it was in fact mailed on time that the subscriber (the customer) is right, and we will automatically mail them a replacement issue but we will also mail them a Non-Receipt of Journal Form, and we expect the subscriber to attest to the fact that the issue being replaced never previously arrived at the subscriber’s address (i.e., it was never actually received, as opposed to the journal issue in question just disappeared, or was stolen, etc, after it had actually arrived safely at the subscribers address of record).
It is also important to note that when we ask a subscriber to provide us with a signed statement to the effect the journal issue was in fact never received by their agency/institution, and the NGCRC has generously provided a replacement issue assuming we would receive such a signed statement that we had asked for, that the NGCRC at its discretion may designate the subscriber as needing a Special Security Subscription Service: registered mail signed receipt as proof of the fact that the subscriber is receiving the journal. Two or more occurrences of claims for replacements without providing signed proof of non-delivery shall constitute the basis for such a designation that the subscriber needs a Special Security Subscription Service.
