Issue no. 2/2023 will be dedicated to post-pandemic landscape in criminal justice social work. The Pandemic has challenge social workers all around the word with new tasks and new types of priorities. The prisoner’s relationship with the outside world was problematic, to say the least, during the Pandemic. This reality has forced many administrators to be creative in the use of telephone, video links and other communication means to allow prisoners to contact their families outside at reasonable costs. Probation officers had to refurbish their skill sets and start providing e-supervision via telephones or ZOOM. Technology became more and more important on the daily basis. This issue is keen to host papers from all over the world in connection to these post-pandemic questions in the criminal justice sector.
This issue will be coordinated by Professor Ioan Durnescu, Department of Social Work, Faculty of Sociology and Social Work, University of Bucharest. Submissions are welcome until December 2022 at: ioan.durnescu@unibuc.ro
Peer review process will last until March 2023.
Expected publication date 1st of June 2023.
