Journal Descriptions

Behavioral Sciences & the Law is a peer-reviewed journal providing current and comprehensive global information on topics at the interface of the law and the behavioral sciences. We balance theoretical, mental health, legal, and research writings to provide a broad perspective on pertinent psycho-legal topics. Most issues are devoted primarily to one special topic, often presented from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. One special issue per year is specifically targeted toward "International Perspectives" on the selected topic.
