Bynum Robert F McManus Last spring the Justice Research and Statistics Association was contacted by the National Research Council, Committee on Law and Justice, whose Committee to Review Research on Police Policy and Practices had recently held a workshop on data collection issues. The Council asked whether JRSA would be interested in publishing papers presented at that meeting in this journal. Council members had considered the option of publishing the papers as an independent workshop report of their own, but they really wanted to be able to reach those researchers most interested in the data/research methodology addressed in the papers. The readership of Justice Research and Policy seemed to be a most appropriate audi- ence in this regard. Once we reviewed the papers we heartily agreed. We decided to publish the papers as a unit in a single volume. Instead of the customary peer-review process, we reviewed the papers internally with an eye toward making suggestions the au- thors could use to refine their work. We would formally like to thank the Associate Editors for reviewing the papers, and for their valuable input and rapid response. This special issue of Justice Research and Policy, which comprises numbers one and two of the fourth volume, contains nine articles, as well as an introduc- tion by the committee chair. We are extremely grateful to the National Research Council for giving us the opportunity to make this body of work available to our readers. We hope you will learn from it and come away with a better understand- ing of the problems and promises of working with police data.
