| 期刊简介: | SOLON hosts an international journal with a wide-ranging interdisciplinary remit to showcase work which confronts and challenges accepted histories and (re)-examines the implications for past and/or current professional practices relating to the study of offensive or anti-social behaviour and its implications.
The journal recognises that global public interest in the law and crime is reaching unprecedented levels and aims to reflect this both in content and in the profile of individuals who write for it; to promote a more global comprehension of the various issues and strategies intrinsic to the study of crimes and misdemeanours, past and present. Through this the journal intends to open up, engage and liven the study of an area of intense academic and public concern with a powerful contemporary resonance by locating it within a ‘historical’ context, and emphasising thereby the need for long-term perspectives on the area. This encompasses the work of academic historians, lawyers, criminologists, sociologists, political scientists, education and literary scholars and psychologists.
The journal invites and encourages submissions from practitioners and those engaged in the delivery of services and responses to law, crime and behaviour. The journal solicits cutting edge work emerging from interdisciplinary or cross disciplinary approaches as well as that reflecting the distinctive insights of established academic disciplines and professional standpoints. Ever mindful of the growth of this area and the duty the journal owes to scholarship and professional practice, Crimes and Misdemeanours; Deviance and the law in historical perspective especially wants to encourage the work of young scholars either still engaged in doctoral work or beyond, and also of young practitioners seeking to challenge established traditions. Thus, alongside refereed articles, there is the opportunity to publish work in progress and receive feedback on this through the journal’s Bulletin Board. |
