All rights reserved. doi: 10.1080/10509670801954988 Guest Editor's Foreword: Special Issue on Offender Assessment In December of 2006 I was approached by Haworth Press with the idea of developing a thematic special double issue of the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation. By mid December we had agreed that the topic would be offender assessment. It is now May 1, 2007 and I am pleased to report that this special issue is complete. Offender assessment is a timely topic and of considerable signifi- cance. It is also inextricably intertwined with offender treatment and rehabilitation. Treatment informs assessment and assessment informs treatment. This special issue on offender assessment is the result of the efforts of all of the 19 contributors who have provided the nine articles which were accepted for publication. For editorial assistance in the review of manuscripts, I thank Bethany L. Gelinas and Sabrina M. R. Brady. For peer review of manuscripts, I thank Michelle M. DeLisle, David M. Gill, Peter J. Lee, Richard N. MacLennan, Zdravko Marjanovic, and Sarah Vander Veen. Two articles in the issue deal with juvenile offenders. For the article examining executive function in female delinquents with the Cognitive Assessment System, there is a parallel paper dealing with executive function in male delinquents in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation (Volume 44, issue 4). The other juvenile offender paper deals with sex offenders in residential treatment and their rank- ings of therapeutic factors using the Yalom Card Sort. It extends similar work reported in 1999 in the Journal of Offender Rehabili- tation with adult sex offenders. A further paper deals with neuropsy- chological function in adult inmates as compared to psychiatric patients and community controls. In addition to extensive normative data, a series of epidemiological and treatment implications are pro- vided. Another paper deals with suicide screening in adult inmates
