The transition has been shorter than normal, and I have just started to catch my breath after starting to learn the ropes. Two things were immediately apparent when I started acting as editor on September 1st. First, I was impressed and immensely grateful for how well the journal had been run under the leadership of Clay Hartjen and the managerial skills of Elizabeth Panuccio. There was a pile of new manuscripts to be reviewed and sent to referees and another pile waiting for a decision after reviews had been completed. Everything was in order and ready to go. Second, I noticed how big the piles were. Then I real- ized that being an editor involves quite a lot of work, which increased my appreciation of what Clay and Elizabeth have done. It is rewarding work, however, because the journal attracts manuscripts from first-rate scholars. As readers know well, JRCD has consistently published excellent research on a range of topics. This has been going on for 45 years now. Lloyd Ohlin was the editor of Volume 1, Number 1, published in January 1964. Authors in that issue included Albert Reiss, Leslie Wilkins, Ron Akers, and Lyle Shannon, among others. The international scope of the journal was evident in that first issue, which included the article, New Prediction and Classification Methods in Criminology, by Wilkins and Macnaughton-Smith of the Home Office Research Unit. And the very first article, An Empirical Test of Differential Association Theory, by Al Reiss and A. Lewis Rhodes presented the kind of theory-based empirical research that the journal has continued to publish. Some things have changed over 45 years. A 1-year subscription (two issues) was $4.50-individual or institutional. An endpaper announced the 11th annual meeting of the National Institute on Crime and Delinquency to be held at Boston's Statler Hilton, where single rooms could be reserved for up to $12.50. Reiss and Rhodes (then at the University of Michigan) included the following footnote in their article:
