     The  Journal of Contemporary   Criminal Justice is intended to be a forum for scholars, students and professionals to express
 perceptions about change affecting the criminal justice field. This is the first issue published and as such we welcome comments and
 suggestions for improvement.
     We  strongly encourage our colleagues and students in sister institutions to participate in future issues of the Journal. All points
 of view will be welcomed   as it is through the expressing of ideas that constructive change comes forward and is finally accepted
 by the system.
     The  criminal justice field is faced with a rapidly changing society demanding response to pressures from all segments. The adapt-
 ability of criminal justice agencies and the awareness of those charged with responding to demands will result in either acceptance
 or rejection of purported solutions. Budgetary pressures will result in forced change and hopefully all affected will understand the
 implications. This type of change is usually not acceptable to either the provider of services or the receiver, but possibly with a clear
 appreciation of the constraints all available resources can be used to the best advantage of society in general. It is our hope that both
 the issues and the constraints will receive printed visibility through the Journal and in this small way contribute to a better under-
 standing of problem areas.
