Law, Probability and Risk (LPR)
Journal Descriptions
Law, Probability & Risk is an online only, fully refereed journal which publishes papers dealing with topics on the interface of law and probabilistic reasoning. These are interpreted broadly to include aspects relevant to the interpretation of scientific evidence, the assessment of uncertainty and the assessment of risk. The readership includes academic lawyers, mathematicians, statisticians and social scientists with interests in quantitative reasoning. Examples include: evaluation, interpretation and presentation of evidence, estimation of compensation for serious injuries, the relevance and reliability of genetic tests for insurance purposes with consequent considerations of legal or quasi-legal criteria for allowable discrimination; legal conflicts affecting the efficiency of credit scoring on the basis of the different types of data permitted to be held by credit bureaux in the U.K., the U.S. and the rest of Europe; the detection of fraudulent transactions live, using expert systems and statistical analyses; the drafting of legislation which is scientifically sound through the involvement of scientists and statisticians at this stage of legislation.
