《攻擊與暴力行為》是一本多學科期刊，發表實質性和綜合性的評論，并對與攻擊與暴力行為領域相關的廣泛主題進行創新性臨床研究項目的摘要報告。論文包含了各種各樣的問題,人口,和域,包括殺人(串行、瘋狂和大屠殺:性殺人),性異常和攻擊(強奸,連環強奸、猥褻兒童、癖),兒童和青少年暴力(firesetting,幫派暴力,少年性侵犯),家庭暴力(孩子身體和性虐待,忽視,亂倫,配偶和虐待老人),遺傳傾向,和侵略行為的生理基礎。鑒于本雜志將是跨學科和交叉理論的，因此，闡明不同方向的稿件將受到歡迎。事實上，論文將來自許多學科，心理學、精神病學、犯罪學、刑事司法、法律、社會學、人類學、遺傳學、社會工作、行為學和生理學。描述正常、犯罪和精神病理學人群中攻擊性研究的論文是可以接受的。如果這一貢獻可能導致該領域的重大活動，將考慮對攻擊性模擬調查和動物模型的審查。然而，重點將是創新的表達和清晰的思維。

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.
