The International Journal of the Sociology of Law is an
interdisciplinary forum for high quality research and
debate on social context and social implications of law,
law-enforcement, and legal process. It welcomes
contributions from all areas of socio-legal study, and
particularly those which address comparative issues and
questions of development, change, and reform in
socio-legal processes. In addition to academic research
papers, the journal invites contributions from
practitioners and those concerned with policy formation
and implementation in fields of legal process and
law-enforcement. All articles will be refereed.

In its pursuit of a comparative focus on socio-legal
study, the journal seeks to encourage debate on, and
analysis of, a range of specific themes, a number of
which will constitute special sections in forthcoming
editions. This may, in certain cases, be based upon
publication of 'lead' articles and statements by key
actors and commentators in the field. Contributions in
the following theme-areas are particularly welcome:

Equal opportunities and anti-discrimination law
Police powers and practices
The 'internationalization' of law, e.g., European law
Reform of the legal profession and legal services
Law, grievance procedures, and accountability
Socio-legal implications of criminal justice technology
Private/informal systems of justice
Pre-trial processes and the prosecution process
The role and effectiveness of sentencing and punishment
Immigration law.

Abstracts are available in HTML format.  Subscribers have
access to full-text articles in PDF format.
