There is no other journal that covers this particular area of scholarship in the United States or in the world. Feminist Criminology has established the standard for critical debate, insightful research, and discussion on feminist criminology worldwide. Thanks to the efforts of past editors, and notably the outgoing editor, Jana Jasinski, it is currently ranked 27 out of 52 in criminology, with an impact factor of .967. Feminist Criminology is the official journal of the Division on Women and Crime (DWC) of the American Society of Criminology. DWC leadership carefully concep- tualized this new journal, and since 2006, the entire DWC has nurtured and pro- moted it, supplying manuscripts, reviewers, editors, and an editorial board. The members of the DWC proactively cite the articles in Feminist Criminology in their work. Very few other journals receive the kind of support that Feminist Criminology receives. Feminist Criminology faithfully reflects the interests, priorities, and initia- tives of the members of the American Society of Criminology Division on Women and Crime. I believe that Feminist Criminology can also play a role in invigorating the directions the Division may choose to take. This is our feminist project. Editing a journal, as I understand it, means being consistent, fair, and efficient in the quotidian tasks, as well as being strategic about the longer term direction of the journal. To these tasks I now turn. Encouraging High-Quality Manuscripts and Reviews Good journals rely on high-quality manuscripts that are a good fit for the journal's mission, and excellent reviewers. As consumers of research, we trust authors to submit manuscripts for consideration to the appropriate journal, and we trust the process of blind peer review to refine and select solid research findings and theoretical insights. All editors know that the search for manuscripts and reviewers is an ongoing process. We will be actively recruiting manuscripts from conference presentations, granting institutions, and other means. To reward excellent articles, we are reinstating the Best Article of the Year Award. We will no longer be requiring a manuscript submission fee as of January 1, 2015.
