In this issue of Current Directions, there are six articles that represent a wide variety of scholar- ship in the behavioral sciences and the law. Two of the six articles reflect European efforts (United Kingdom: Fritzon et al., and The Netherlands: van der Leij et al.), the rest are from the United States with one of the US contributions including a cross-cultural comparison between the U.S. and the U.K. (Schwartz & Isser).

Julia Henderson Gist and her colleagues compare violence reported by women who qualify for a civil protection order to women who do not qualify for civil protection. Deane Wiley's study examines differences between African Americans and White Americans and what they perceive when they view a law enforcement traffic stop in which the race of motorist and police officer are crossed. Katarina Fritzon, David Canter, and Zoe Wilton argue for the usefulness of an action system framework for classifying deviant behavior and demonstrate the value in studies of arson and terrorism. Bas van der Leij and his colleagues explore forensic assessments of a defendant's mental health status in the Dutch criminal justice system. Lita Linzer Schwartz and Natalie K. Isser use the lens of Therapeutic Jurisprudence to examine neonaticides and the sentences imposed on the parents who commit such crimes. The issue concludes with a book review.
