3 Feminist Criminology 3 (2008)

handle is hein.journals/femcrim3 and id is 1 raw text is: January 2008 3-4 ' 008Nag Puications 10.1 1-7/15508107312023 Editorial 111tp)/fcI'gge[ub.COm http:// oine sa-gepub.com W elcome to this issue of Feminist Criminology which has three interesting and diverse articles. First, Nicole Carr, Kenneth Hudson, and Roma Hanks analyze data from community-based juvenile residential programs to examine the ways in which they operate as gendered organizations. They demonstrate that girls were placed in these programs for less serious offenses than boys, remained under court supervision much longer, and were more apt to be recommitted to residential treat- ment, regardless of the seriousness of any new offense. Second, Karen Parker and Amy Reckdenwald examine the structural correlates of female offending to evaluate how patriarchy and other macro-level factors influence female criminality in urban and rural areas. They find that private patriarchy is not a strong predictor of female offending rates but note that this relationship may be notably different in rural ver- sus urban areas. Finally, Ruth Mann examines government and advocacy group texts on three recent Canadian domestic violence policy moments. She concentrates on the strategies and tactics of Canadian anti-domestic violence advocates and their efforts to delegitimize gendered constructions of domestic violence. She also explores the ways that advocacy groups have fought to safeguard the rights of women and children in the wake of this backlash movement. I hope you enjoy the issue. Please help us ensure continued success of the jour- nal by encouraging your institutions to subscribe to it. In addition, please continue to send your scholarship to Feminist Criminology. We will be changing our submis- sion process effective December 1, 2007. In the future, please go to the following Web site to submit articles: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.conifc. You will log on to the system, enter author information, and submit the article. Similarly, all reviews will be managed through this system. Reviewers will receive an e-mail asking them to accept or decline the review prior to receiving a second e-mail with information about how to log on and access the review. If you have not already entered yourself in our reviewer database, you also may go to the Web site and complete the neces- sary information to be added to the system. We are really excited about the new system and believe it will be more efficient. It will send automatic reminders to reviewers if they are overdue in their reviews, and it will allow authors to check the status of their manuscripts. We will continue to receive correspondence at the femcrim@utc.edu address. If you have any prob- lems with the new system or suggestions for improvement, please contact us. The system is flexible and allows us to manipulate some features. We have tested it out internally, but your input is welcomed. 3
