Views about crime in Scotland are dominated by myths and tend to be closed to alternative visions of how a just, low crime society might work.

Therefore, CjScotland aims to

* focus in-depth on Scottish criminal justice issues but without neglecting both the wider European and UK context;
* be a gateway to comprehensive information about Scottish criminal justice;
* offer a platform for official agencies, voluntary organisations, and others, or people affected by crime, to exchange information and publicise their projects, events and research findings;
* be useful for both the expert and general reader;
* to give record positive news about what works, at the same time as recognising the destructiveness of crime in our communities.
