Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

The Journal of Law and Social Deviance publishes articles about the interplay of law and socially deviant behavior. It is interested in how law creates, inhibits, or challenges deviant behavior, especially as it evolves from, responds to, or inspires art, the animal kingdom, the body, fashion or design, religion, pop culture, propaganda, and sex. The journal's collective professional expertise includes law, celebrity/underground/pop culture and cult behavior, LGBT, prisons, alternative health movements, animal welfare, history, juveniles, policing, religion, psychology, and environmental engineering.
