600 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. 6 (2005)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0600 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE The Achievements, Frustrations, and Promise of the Social Sciences By ROBERT W. PEARSON and LAWRENCE W. SHERMAN 6 The special editors of this volume invited these essays to commemorate and celebrate the publication of the six hundredth volume of The Annals. Few journals have had quite such a run, nor covered so wide a range: from racial equality in Teddy Roosevelt's America to pre- venting war with Japan, from women's suffrage to organized crime, from foreign exchange rates to the psychology of hope. From Gandhi to Galbraith, from Eleanor Roosevelt to Margaret Mead, from W. E. B. DuBois to Herbert Hoo- ver, more than forty-six thousand articles by scholars, reformers, U.S. presidents, and revo- lutionaries have appeared in The Annals since it was first published in July 1890. We selected the topic of the use and useful- ness of the social sciences because The Annals and its parent, the American Academy of Politi- cal and Social Science, arose amidst the birth of modern social science itself. This birth, as sev- eral of the present contributors observe, was fos- tered in part by hopes of enlightening pub- lic opinion and informing public policy. As Robert W Pearson is executive director of the American Academy o f Political and Social Science and lecturer at the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania. He has served as associate dean at the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and M.\anagement and has been on the faculties of Catholic Unirsitiy, Columbia University, and Barnard College. He was pro- gram officer at the Social Science Research Council and assistant survey director at the National Opinion Research Center He earned a Ph.D. in political science at the University of Chicago. Lawenco e W Sherman is director ofthe Jerry Lee Center of Criminology and the Albert Monroe Green field Pro- fessor of Human Relations at the University o f Pennsyl- vania, where he chairs the Department of Criminology. He is also president ofthe American Academy of Political and Social Science and of the International Society of Criminology. For more than four decades, he has designed and directed field experiments in crime preven- tion strategies by police departments, prosecutors, cor- rectional agencies and btsineses. He is currently codirector (with Heather Strang) of several field experi- ments with the London Metropolitan Police. ANNALS, AAPSS, 600, July 2005
