Manuscript Editing for Deviant Behavior Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Deviant Behavior addresses social deviance specifically and exclusively, for an international and interdisciplinary readership. It publishes refereed theoretical, descriptive, methodological, and applied papers on crime, juvenile delinquency, addiction, sexual deviance, mental illness, and related behavior. Taylor & Francis publishes it in 12 issues a year.

References follow the reference style of the American Sociological Association. Manuscripts go in as Word files, and Word templates are available. Two independent experts review each paper under single anonymous review. Our editors apply ASA style to citations and the reference list and match each entry to the text. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Human Manuscript Editor

Natural Intelligence for Deviant Behavior

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way Deviant Behavior's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a criminologist does, checking that each form of deviance is defined once and each theory is cited to its source. Track Changes stays on throughout.

Our Promise

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Deviant Behavior. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Deviant Behavior

We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.

Manuscript Copy Editing

Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.

Manuscript Line Editing

Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.

Manuscript Proofreading

Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Deviant Behavior.

ASA Style for Deviant Behavior

The journal's instructions for authors cover references, templates, and review. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.

Our legal editing services cover criminology and criminal justice research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Victims & Offenders and Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice.
