Law, Probability & Risk is a fully refereed journal which publishes papers dealing with topics on the interface of law and probabilistic reasoning. These are interpreted broadly to include aspects relevant to the interpretation of scientific evidence, the assessment of uncertainty and the assessment of risk. The readership includes academic lawyers, mathematicians, statisticians and social scientists with interests in quantitative reasoning.

The primary objective of the journal is to cover issues in law, which have a scientific element, with an emphasis on statistical and probabilistic issues and the assessment of risk.

Examples of topics which may be covered include communications law, computers and the law, environmental law, law and medicine, regulatory law for science and technology, identification problems (such as DNA but including other materials), sampling issues (drugs, computer pornography, fraud), offender profiling, credit scoring, risk assessment, the role of statistics and probability in drafting legislation, the assessment of competing theories of evidence (possibly with a view to forming an optimal combination of them). In addition, a whole new area is emerging in the application of computers to medicine and other safety-critical areas. New legislation is required to define the responsibility of computer experts who develop software for tackling these safety-critical problems.

《法律、概率与风险》是一本经过全面审查的期刊，发表有关法律与概率推理交界主题的论文。这些论文被广泛解释为包括与科学证据解释、不确定性评估和风险评估相关的方面。读者包括对定量推理感兴趣的学术律师、数学家、统计学家和社会科学家。

该期刊的主要目标是涵盖具有科学元素的法律问题，重点是统计和概率问题以及风险评估。

可能涵盖的主题包括通信法、计算机与法律、环境法、法律与医学、科学和技术监管法、识别问题（例如 DNA，但包括其他材料）、抽样问题（毒品、计算机色情、欺诈）、罪犯分析、信用评分、风险评估、统计和概率在起草立法中的作用、对相互竞争的证据理论的评估（可能旨在形成它们的最佳组合）。此外，计算机在医学和其他安全关键领域的应用正在形成一个全新的领域。需要制定新的立法来明确开发软件以解决这些安全关键问题的计算机专家的责任。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE、SSCI收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映MATHEMATICSSTATISTICS & PROBABILITY&-STATISTICS & PROBABILITY领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为1.4，平均审稿速度为 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
