Key Databases
- EBSCOhost (including Academic Search Complete)
Get the most bang for your buck by searching several databases at one time, including Academic Search Complete and Criminal Justice Abstracts. To limit your search to peer reviewed journal articles, choose the "Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals" option. - SAGE Journals Online
Search peer-reviewed journals from one publisher. This tool is not comprehensive, but it is a good place to start if you want to search only high-quality peer-reviewed journals. - Criminal Justice Abstracts with Full Text
Search journals, books, and reports in criminal justice scholars. If you get too many irrelevant results in EBSCOhost, try this option for results focused in criminal justice. - Proquest Criminal Justice (formerly Criminal Justice Periodicals Index)
Search peer-reviewed journals, professional magazines, and law reviews in criminal justice, corrections, security management, substance abuse, and related fields. - More Criminal Justice Databases
