14 Police Prac. & Res. 1 (2013)

handle is hein.journals/gppr14 and id is 1 raw text is: Police Practice and Research, 2013 1 Routledge Vol. 14, No. 1, 1-3, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15614263.2013.763503 Iom -)Up EDITORIAL From the Editor-in-Chief Beginning 2013, we are a new managerial team with Kam Wong (Xavier's University, Cincinnati) as Managing Editor, Danika McCleod (University of Cincinnati) as Associate Managing Editor, Melchor de Guzman (State University of New York, Brockport) as Pro- duction Editor, and Amanda Chestnut (same university) as Associate Production Editor. This is also the time that PPR's indomitable Production Editor in the UK office, Kathryn White, is handing over to Stephen Kirton. We became used to being pampered by Kat and we will miss her. We welcome Stephen most enthusiastically to our PPR team. As they admirably glide into their new roles, I asked Mel and Kam to provide edito- rial comments on the current issue under production. Dr. Melchor de Guzman, who hails from the Philippines, takes a micro approach to this first issue of 2013 in PPR's 13th year, and notes that 'a common theme of organiza- tional control, management and productivity' runs through the articles that have formed its contents. In An Appropriate Space: Chief Officers and Police Accountability (Bryn Caless and Stephen Tong), Mel explains, the focus is on 'three infrastructures for police control in England and Wales known as the Tripartite Arrangement' and the article pro- vides 'a glimpse of the chiefs' views on how these forms of control impact administra- tion and management of their departments.' Editor de Guzman admires that Jon Shane (Daily Work Experiences and Police Performance) can become an important source of 'reference for police managers in understanding their organization and police officer behavior.' And, commenting on the third article in the issue, (Katarina Norberg, Legisla- tion vs. Morality - a Police Officer's Ethical Dilemma) Mel lends credence to the author's view that policing is a complex mission linked to its moral dimensions and it embodies the perspective that individual values may impact upon the way daily work is accomplished. PPR'S Production Editor, Dr. de Guzman, comments that Carolyn H. Hughes-Scholes and Martine B. Powell (Techniques used by investigative interviewers to elicit disclosures of abuse from child witnesses: A Critique) 'provide their readers with descriptions of the best practices on interviewing children by offering critiques on how best to proceed when interviewing children' and present the authors' 'overall impressions on the weaknesses and strengths of the officers during interviews.' In yet another article in the area of police investigation, Tehri Kankaaranta (Factors influencing economic crime investigators' job commitment), Mel points out how ably the author argues 'that economic crime investiga- tions tend to be time-consuming and extensive and, therefore, clear work expectations and work balance are important in enhancing job satisfaction.' Dr. de Guzman explains, in the last article (The Best of the Three Worlds: More Effective Policing by a Problem- Oriented Approach To Hot Crimes, Hotspots, Hotshots, and Hot Groups), three practitio- ners, Versteegh, Van Der Plas, and Nieuwstraten dwell upon the crime phenomena in the Netherlands. The authors argue that the key principles in these three strategies (i.e. pre- ventive measures coupled with repressive measures (POP), with collaboration from the @ 2013 Taylor & Francis
