9 J. Sch. Violence 1 (2010)

handle is hein.journals/wjsv9 and id is 1 raw text is: Journal of School Violence, 9:1, 2010 II Routledge Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Taylor&Francis Group ISSN: 1538 8220 print/1538 8239 online DOI: 10.1080/15388220903554669 EDITORIAL Eight Was Not Enough During the past year, a new editorial team including myself, Douglas Smith, Lindsey O'Brennan, and the editorial board have been working diligently to provide a smooth transition for Journal of School Violence (JSV) after Dr. Edwin Gerler's remarkable eight-year editorship. Under Dr. Gerler's foundational leadership and dedication, the field of school violence and safety research now has a primary outlet for research on crisis prevention, school climate, and interventions aimed at creating safe and secure schools for our students. All school violence researchers owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Gerler. Over the coming year, we will build on Dr. Gerler's efforts by continuing the expansion of the literature across these areas of interest to enhance the status of school violence research among educational, psychological, and public health scholars. An additional aim will be to address areas of positive psychology as they relate to school violence, as this topic is often neglected in the violence prevention research. We need to focus not just on keeping stu- dents safe and secure, but on how to help them thrive in schools that have climates conducive to learning. Success in these efforts will allow JSV to serve as a leading resource for researchers, policy makers, and school-based practi- tioners within the field of school violence prevention and intervention. We also acknowledge the tireless efforts put forth by our editorial board, as they are the core of the journal. We are thrilled to be working with such esteemed colleagues in the field of school violence and prevention research who are leaders internationally. Other professionals are encouraged to join the editorial board if interested by contacting JSV directly (jsv@education.ucsb.edu). We have created a website that provides information about the journal as well as guidelines for submitting manuscripts. We invite you to visit it period- ically for updates. http://web.me.com/michaelfurlong/JSV/Home.html Michael J. Furlong, Editor University of California, Santa Barbara Douglas C.
