15 Police Prac. & Res. 1 (2014)

handle is hein.journals/gppr15 and id is 1 raw text is: Police Practice and Research, 2014 Routledge Vol. 15, No. 1, 1-2, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15614263.2013.874651 Taylor&FrancisGroup From the Editor-in-Chief As we embark upon a new Volume of PPR, Volume 15, with this first issue, it is time to reflect on what PPR stands for. PPR is disseminated globally and it is a purely inter- national journal in scope, philosophy and practice. Bearing eloquent testimony to its international character, this first issue presents articles from Australia, Belgium, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the USA. Dedicated to the ideal of collaboration between police research and practice, the journal welcomes collaborative work between scholars and practitioners as well as research-based contributions of practitioners. The issue includes a research article by a Statistician at the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the US Department of Justice; a Member of the Australian Federal Police is a collaborator with two university faculty members in another article, and one of the articles was 'authored as part of the contributors' official duties as Employee of the United States Government' and co-authored by a 'public safety officer' in a college campus. The final article is a contribution from a retired Metropolitan police officer from the UK who is currently a professor at the University of Portsmouth. PPR encourages multi-disciplinary approaches and it is pleasure to note that two university faculty members, one of the Education Department and the other of the Psychology Department at the Umea University in Sweden collaborated on a research article on 'Swedish Student Police Officers'. In the same vein, it is noted that a Professor and Director of Comparative Corrections has provided a review of a book on policing. A Post-Doctoral Researcher from the Leuven Institute of Criminology in Belgium who also serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands is one of the authors who adorn this issue reflecting what PPR seeks to encourage: current and innovative police research. This issue carries more good news and happy tidings. Research and practice collabo- ration in policing has become more respected and sought after. As readers will note, there is a flyer announcing two meetings of International Police Executive Symposium, IPES, www.ipes.info (PPR is affiliated with IPES which works for bridging the gulf between police practitioners and researchers across the globe); one in Trivandrum (Kerala, India) on the theme of 'Policing by Consent' on 16-21 March 2014 and another on the theme of 'Crime Prevention and Community Resilience' in Sofia (Bulgaria) on 27-31 July 2014. We are expecting a big slice of the globe in these meet- ings, with researchers and practitioners assembling in most congenial venues chosen for these conclaves, to discuss, debate, interact and exchange views on issues of research and practice in policing. The mission, mandate and motive of PPR are carried forward by the book series, 'Advances in Police Theory and Practice' and 'Interviews with Global Leaders in Polic- ing, Courts and Prisons'. We are including a flyer inviting PPR readers to contribute to the series and thereby to the bigger cause of enrichment of practice by research and vice versa in the world of policing. Readers will find ample evidence in regard to PPR's © 2014 Taylor & Francis
