1 Youth Violence & Juv. Just. 3 (2003)

handle is hein.journals/yvja1 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL Welcome to the first issue of Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice: An Interdisciplinary Journal. This new journal represents the combined efforts of members of the juvenile justice section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and Sage Publications. The fundamental goal of this journal is to provide an academic outlet for empirical research and writing on the important subjects of youth violence and juvenile justice. Although many academic journals in criminal justice, sociology, psychology, social work, education, law, and other related disciplines routinely publish articles on youth violence and juvenile justice, we feel that this is the first journal specifically devoted to these topics. The fundamental goal of this journal is to be the preeminent source for dissemination of academic and practitioner information and research on youth violence and juvenile justice. Accomplishing this goal is made even more difficult by the very fact that so many academic disciplines have a vested interest in these subjects. In addition, as anyone who has worked or researched the juvenile justice system will attest, the sheer number of academics, practitioners, organizations, and other actors involved in juvenile justice is enormous. To this end, rather than attempting to carve out a small niche in the fields of youth violence and juvenile justice, we will embrace the diversity of interests in these areas and attempt to represent these interests in the pages of this journal. If the goal of being the preeminent journal in youth violence and juvenile justice is possible, it can only be accomplished by representing all of the diversity of interests currently present in the system. We are fortunate to have representation from a variety of perspectives and disciplines on our editorial board. The list of prominent academics in this area who agreed to serve on this journal's editorial board is clearly qualified to help us achieve the goals of this journal. Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice seeks to serve both academics and practitioners in the field of juvenile justice. Submissions to the journal can be either quantitative or qualitative, with a decided emphasis on applicability of the research to the field of juvenile justice, youth violence prevention, and school safety. The clear focus of this journal is on the systems of juvenile justice in the United States and abroad. As such, both empirical and theoretical articles related to the juvenile justice system are welcomed. We will attempt to serve as a bridge between the academics and practitioners in the field of juvenile justice and those charged with preventing youth violence. As such, program evaluations, policy analyses, empirical research, and practical, theoretical, legal, and qualitative analyses of juvenile justice are all welcomed submissions. Substantive areas for articles include the following: * juvenile justice system philosophy * the juvenile court, * police and juveniles, * juvenile corrections and correctional programming, * juvenile probation and parole, * juvenile waiver to adult court, * diversion, Youth Violence and Junenile Justice: An Interdisciplinary Journal (YVJJ), Vol. 1 No. 1, January 2003 3-4 DOI: 10.1177/1541204002238360 © 2003 Sage Publications 3
