It has been published by Springer Science+Business Media since 2006[1] and as of 2019 the editor-in-chief is Avi Brisman.[4] Its focus is broader than a standard definition of crime, focusing on "issues of social harm and social justice", and it strives to showcase collaborative efforts towards solving complex issues which might help build a society which eliminates or minimises exclusion on the basis of gender, race, class and other differences among people.[3] It has been published quarterly since 2006, having previously been published twice or three times a year.[5]

The journal began life as The Journal of Human Justice in 1989, created by the Human Justice Collective in Vancouver,[6] with its first issue focused on Canada.[5] The last issue under this name was v. 6, no. 2, in 1995.[6] In 1996 it was published by the American Society of Criminology's Division on Critical Criminology in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond in Canada as Critical Criminology: An International Journal and, after an hiatus in publication between 1998 and 1999,[1] has continued under this name until the present (2020).[7][1]
