The journal was established in 1965 as an annual publication under the title Scandinavian Studies in Criminology by the "quasi-official" Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology.[1] In 2000 it merged with the journal Studies on Crime & Crime Prevention, established in 1992, and was named the Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology and Crime Prevention until 2018 when it received its current name.[2] Before it was acquired by Taylor and Francis it was published by Universitetsforlaget.[1]
