   Five manuscripts appear in this volume of Women & Criminal
Justice. The first article is a tribute to Erika S. Fairchild written by
Susette Talarico. This is followed by Frances Heidensohn's first-
person account of her experiences conducing research on gender in
contemporary society. In A Feminist Critique of Self-Defense and
Provocation in Battered Women's Cases in England and Wales,
Wendy Chan discusses the significance of the battered woman syn-

Laster presents a historical analysis of gender and the death penalty
in her article Arbitrary Chivalry: Women and Capital Punishment
in Victoria, Australia 1842-1967. The last manuscript by Renee
Kasinsky compares the contemporary state's reaction to pregnant
mothers who use drugs with the Progressive Era's response to
mothers accused of child neglect.

As the editor of a refereed journal, I rely on the expertise of the
