The orchestrator for a Criminology submission. Figure out the stage and the article type, then send the user to the matching skill. Criminology is the interdisciplinary flagship of the American Society of Criminology — the router's first job is to make sure the paper advances a theoretical or measurement contribution about crime, not just a finding about a crime dataset.
crim-rebuttal)| Situation | Type | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study advancing theory/measurement | Article | normal pipeline below |
| One focused, self-contained contribution | Research Note | normal pipeline, tighter scope |
| Re-examining / reproducing a published finding | replication-style study | crim-research-design + crim-data-and-transparency |
| Prospective design, data not yet collected | preregister first | crim-data-and-transparency (preregistration) early |
If your design is prospective, lock the pre-analysis plan before you see outcomes — that is what protects against the "fishing" critique expert reviewers will raise.

Iterate: most criminology papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times (e.g., refitting a trajectory model or recidivism survival) before writing-style.
Reviewers, advisers, and co-authors describe problems in their own words; the router maps each phrase to the skill that fixes it. These are the recurring flags for the ASC flagship.
| What was said | Underlying gap | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| "atheoretical / just a finding" | mechanism not built | crim-theory-building |
| "selection / not causal" | identification weak | crim-research-design |
| "official records, not offending" | measurement validity | crim-data-analysis |
| "missed key work / wrong debate" | positioning | crim-literature-positioning |
| "belongs at CPP" | scope/fit | crim-topic-selection |
| "can't reproduce this" | transparency | crim-data-and-transparency |
A Research Note routes through the same chain with a tighter scope; the pack does not encode a numeric cap, so check it against the journal's current submission guidelines before committing to the type.
Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the crime/justice process, measurement validity, research design, and policy consequence; then judge whether the current manuscript answers the venue's real reader: criminology reviewers who expect theory-linked crime, justice, or harm mechanisms plus transparent measurement.
