handle is hein.journals/cjscj23 and id is 1 raw text is: Criminal Justice Studies AZ Routedge Vol. 23, No. 1, March 2010, 1-2 Taylor &Francis Group EDITORIAL From the Editor's desk The use of the plain view doctrine allows police officers to seize contraband they see without the need to obtain a search warrant. Since 1971, there has been an attempt to apply the rationale to those situations that involve the use of senses other than sight. The development of the plain view doctrine is explored in the paper 'Getting Touchy- Feely: Application of the Plain View Doctrine to Plain Touch, Plain Smell, and Plain Hearing Situations by the United States Court of Appeals and District Courts' by Valerie Bell, Craig Hemmens, and Nichole Gerhard and its expansion to these areas. Policing organized crime requires a contingent approach according to Petter Gottschalk in his paper 'A Contingent Approach to Policing Organized Crime.' Both police organizations and criminal organizations are defined as knowledge organiza- tions. Based on the relative knowledge of criminals vs. police, four sectors emerge: random policing, disadvantaged policing, targeted policing, and competitive policing. In the paper 'Exploring Stolen Data Markets Online: Products and Market Forces' by Thomas J. Holt and Eric Lampke, the authors state that the threat of hackers and data thieves has increased, though few have considered the ways to dispose of the information obtained from computer attacks. They have conducted a study that exam- ines the nature of the market for stolen data using a qualitative analysis of 300 threads from six web forums run by and for data thieves. They also demonstrate the distinct relationships between buyers and sellers that shape the relationships and structure of these markets. Reem A. Abu-Lughod has a paper on 'Planning for Crime Reduction.' She states that though there might be a decline in the overall crime rate in the USA, nevertheless there is a need to develop improvements to reduce the number of violent crimes that are still prevalent in the cities. Her study reviews comprehensive sets of indicators composed of those variables consistently stated in the literature that affect an individ- ual's sense of safety and security in the cities. She makes a correlation between criminal offenses, physical attributes, race, gender, income, population, and other variables. In the paper 'Testing the Marshall Hypothesis and its Antithesis: The Effect of Biased Information on Death-Penalty Opinion' the authors Deniese Kennedy-Kollar and Evan J. Mandery write about prior studies having found mixed support for the 'Marshall Hypothesis.' No prior study has examined the effect of these facts on death penalty opponents. They examined 187 undergraduates with one-sided information that either supported or opposed the death penalty. Paired sample t-tests compared pre- and post-test levels of support and found significant decreases in opposition among those opposed to capital punishment at the outset, but no major change among those who favored capital punishment. The last paper by Jennifer LaMoure, Robert Meadows, Henri Mondschein, and Susan Llewellyn talks about 'Interviewing Male and Female Jail Inmates Sentenced ISSN 1478-601X print/ISSN 1478-6028 online © 2010 Taylor & Francis DOI: 10.1080/14786011003634290 http://www.informaworld.com
