Focus and Scope

The Indonesian Journal of Corruption and Criminal Justice (IJCCJ) is a rigorously peer-reviewed, double-blind, open-access academic journal, published quarterly (April, August, and December) since 2026 by Mahkota Science Publishers, Indonesia. It is dedicated to advancing original and analytically robust legal scholarship grounded in both empirical investigation and normative (doctrinal) analysis, with a sustained and critical emphasis on corruption and evolving developments within the field of criminal justice. Whilst retaining a principal focus on Indonesian legal challenges and institutional configurations, IJCCJ purposefully cultivates rigorous engagement with comparative law, international legal regimes, and transnational regulatory dynamics, insofar as these inform, influence, and reshape the Indonesian state and its legal order.

Central to the journal’s intellectual mandate is the systematic and interdisciplinary examination of corruption and anti-corruption strategies across the full continuum of the criminal justice process. In extending its scope beyond purely doctrinal and institutional analysis, IJCCJ is equally attentive to the broader governance conditions that enable, entrench, or constrain corrupt practices, particularly in relation to transparency, accountability, integrity systems, and meaningful public participation. The journal further promotes scholarship that is both historically grounded and prospectively oriented, encompassing studies on the deployment of technological innovations in corruption prevention and detection, as well as historically informed analyses tracing the corruption and anti-corruption movements within criminal justice frameworks.
