The journal benefits professionals interested in alternative methodologies and theories, including chaos theory, non-linear analysis, and complex systems science as it pertains to the study of crime and criminal justice.

The European Journal of Law and Economics provides readers with high-quality theoretical and empirical research in which both the legal and economic dimensions merge and combine.

Theoretical papers are welcome, provided they have a strong basis in law and economics. The journal also welcomes case studies, as well as empirical analyses—including empirical legal studies—and experimental investigations. The European Journal of Law and Economics does not favor any particular topic but does have a focus on new and emerging problems. European themes are particularly welcome, because the editors feel it is important to exploit Europe’s considerable institutional diversity in order to build a more robust body of theory and empirical evidence. However, the purpose of the journal is also to showcase the diversity of law and economics approaches, as supplied by an international mix of authors.
