Society is intended to be the journal for publishing articles reporting the results of research on various topics include, but not limited to, Sociology, Policy and Administration, Political Science, Anthropology, Demography, Human Geography, Social Work, Criminology, and Other Studies in Human Society.

Recognizing the importance of a global perspective, Society actively encourages and welcomes contributions from international researchers and practitioners.
