handle is hein.journals/wpcn9 and id is 1 raw text is: Journal ofPolice Crisis Negotiations, 9:1-2, 2009 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ) Routledge ISSN: 1533-2586 print / 1533-2594 online ( Taylor&Francis Group DOI: 10.1080/15332580802537371 Editorial We have a new home. Well, sort of. The Haworth Press was acquired by Taylor & Francis Group. The Journal itself will be published under the Rout- ledge brand. While information about the Journal is still available on the old Haworth website, eventually all will be found at www.taylorandfrancis.com and content held at www.informaworld.com.

The more we know, the better our assessments will be, the better our in- telligence gathering will be, and ultimately, the better our negotiations will be. Martin Hershkowitz rounds out this issue with some specific insights into homeland security on the state level. As far as I can determine, we are the only professional HN Journal that features a regularly occurring legal section directly related to hostage and crisis negotiations. Here, Dr. Tom Mijares reviews the case of Salas vs. Carpenter. An interesting case that could have been very useful to negotiators in terms of what we might have learned if the case had been resolved as initially intended. It happens that I was involved in this particular case. Our regular feature on negotiator training is presented by Dr. Michael McMains and his co-author Sgt. Ray Pollard. Together they explore the 1
