handle is hein.journals/jbbl3 and id is 1 raw text is: Sutton: Introduction June 2012 To the Readers, We are pleased to publish Volume 3 of the Journal for Biosecurity, Biosafety and Biodefense Law. This volume raises new and important legal issues within the field of biosecurity, biosafety and biodefense law, both from a practical as well as a theoretical perspective. I thank the anonymous peer reviewers and Board of Editors for their steadfast dedication to this growing area of law and to the Journal. Sincere thanks also goes to our Student Executive Board, Editor-in-Chief, Marshall Meringola; Executive Managing Editor, Austin Franklin; Lead Articles Editor, Gabriel Sustaita; and the Organizational Development Chair, Austin Carrizales, who each devoted themselves to preparing articles for publication and day-to- day management of Volume 3 of the Journal. Additionally, our outstanding Board of Student Associate Editors ensured that every detail of articles editing was skillfully executed to meet the deadlines for Volume 3. Finally, a special thanks to Professor Brie Sherwin who has continued to serve the Journal as Managing Editor, and her contributions are vital to the Journal's success. The articles selected for Volume 3 address six subject-matter areas. The lead article, Whistleblower and Liability Protections for Scientific Laboratory Employees by Jarod Gonzalez and Victoria Sutton, addresses a timely issue involving the proposed regulatory changes to the biosafety and biosecurity regulations, 42 C.F.R. § 73, which were proposed on October 3, 2011. These changes have the potential to impact the culture of biodefense research with regard to personal assurances and obligations to act on co-workers behavior. Following the lead article, the first group of articles addresses the importance of establishing jurisdiction, and the challenges of determining proper jurisdiction during an international biosecurity incident. The second group of articles addresses the unique area of Biocriminology, as the articles consider the interaction between criminal laws and the prosecution of biosecurity crimes. The third section provides an insightful article which examines biosecurity and biosafety concerns that may arise at our nation's border. The fourth group of articles looks at particular areas of science and medicine that are largely unregulated, which may present an increased risk for biosecurity threats. The fifth group of articles provides individual analyses of national and international Published by De Gruyter, 2012 1
