Why does this misspelled googleGoogle search return more hits than a correctly spelled searchone?

When I google search for "law and human behavior""law and human behavior" (with quote markswith quote marks) on Google, I get only 106,000 hits. When I search for "law and human behaviour""law and human behaviour" (again, with quote marksagain, with quote marks) I get 25,200,000 hits.

I don't have any prejudices about the American vs English spelling, but the the journal is really called "law and human behavior" (see http://www.springer.com/psychology/psychology+%26+law/journal/10979). Furthermore, a search for the word "behavior" returns about twice as many hits as a search for the word "behaviour".
