handle is hein.journals/jccj23 and id is 1 raw text is: Voluime 23 Number 1 Iebruiy 2Q07 4 © 007 Sage Publins Preface hosted at http:,,/ouliiue.sag-epub.com T he articles included in this special issue are revised versions of papers presented at a workshop on desistance held in Washington, DC, on May 3-4, 2006. This workshop was funded by the National Consortium on Violence Research (NCOVR). We are extremely grateful to Alfred Blumstein, director of NCOVR, for his support in this venture, and to Pat Edgar and Carol Miller for their administrative assistance. We are also indebted to Chris Eskridge for his assistance in publishing these articles in this journal. The workshop was organized by the coeditors of this special issue and attended by the authors of the articles, as well as by Alfred Blumstein, Shawn D. Bushway, Patrick M. Clark, Julie Horney, Megan C. Kurlychek, Akiva Liberman, Paul Nieuwbeerta, Lee Ann Slocum and Gary Sweeten. The discussions in the workshop were extremely stimulating, and the participants' comments and suggestions have greatly enhanced the quality of the papers. We hope that this special issue will convince readers of the crucial importance of the topic of desistance in criminology, from both theoretical and policy viewpoints, and of the need to develop this area of research further in order to address essential questions about this key dimension of the criminal career.
