The American Society of Criminology Outstanding Article Award (established in 2006) honors exceptional contributions made by scholars in article form. The award is given annually for the peer-reviewed article that makes the most outstanding contribution to research in criminology.
The Committee will consider articles published during the 2016 calendar year.
The Committee automatically considers all articles published in Criminology and in Criminology & Public Policy, and will consider articles of interest published in other journals. We are also soliciting nominations for this award. Self-nominations by ASC members are acceptable. To nominate articles, please send full citation information for the article and a brief discussion of your reasons for the recommendation.
Current members of the ASC Board are ineligible to receive this award. However, if a current member of the Board is nominated for this award, their nomination shall be considered in the first year following their service on the Board.
All nomination materials should be sent by February 15, 2018 to:
