About This Journal

Welcome to The Journal of Prison Education Research, an international, peer-reviewed journal for researchers and practitioners. Our journal was initiated by scholars from Norway, Ireland, the UK, and the United States for publication of prison education research. As an international journal, we aim to assure a cross-national representation on our editorial and review boards.

This is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charger to the user or their institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.

One of the main objectives of The Journal of Prison Education Research is to promote the use of evidence-based practices in the field. We publish articles that are based on rigorous research and have the potential to inform the development and implementation of successful prison education programs.

Our journal also aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by publishing articles that are accessible to both researchers and practitioners. Alongside academic articles, we feature pracitioner pieces to keep readers informed about the latest research and trends in the field.
