《攻击与暴力行为》是一本多学科期刊，发表实质性和综合性的评论，并对与攻击与暴力行为领域相关的广泛主题进行创新性临床研究项目的摘要报告。论文包含了各种各样的问题,人口,和域,包括杀人(串行、疯狂和大屠杀:性杀人),性异常和攻击(强奸,连环强奸、猥亵儿童、癖),儿童和青少年暴力(firesetting,帮派暴力,少年性侵犯),家庭暴力(孩子身体和性虐待,忽视,乱伦,配偶和虐待老人),遗传倾向,和侵略行为的生理基础。鉴于本杂志将是跨学科和交叉理论的，因此，阐明不同方向的稿件将受到欢迎。事实上，论文将来自许多学科，心理学、精神病学、犯罪学、刑事司法、法律、社会学、人类学、遗传学、社会工作、行为学和生理学。描述正常、犯罪和精神病理学人群中攻击性研究的论文是可以接受的。如果这一贡献可能导致该领域的重大活动，将考虑对攻击性模拟调查和动物模型的审查。然而，重点将是创新的表达和清晰的思维。
Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.Manuscripts that articulate disparate orientations will be welcomed, given that this journal will be cross-disciplinary and cross-theoretical. Indeed, papers will emanate from numerous disciplines, psychology, psychiatry, criminology, criminal justice, law, sociology, anthropology, genetics, social work, ethology, and physiology.Papers describing the study of aggression in normal, criminal, and psychopathological populations are acceptable. Reviews of analog investigations of aggression and animal models will be considered if the contribution is likely to lead to significant movement in the field. The emphasis, however, will be on innovativeness of presentation and clarity of thinking.
