22 J. Forensic Psychiatry & Psych. 1 (2011)

handle is hein.journals/jnlofncpy22 and id is 1 raw text is: The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology Routledge Vol. 22, No. 1, February 2011, 1-2 Taylor&FrancisGroup EDITORIAL From the Editorial Board of the Journal, I feel that it is time to update our readers on certain changes to the Journal's editorial personnel and policy. First, to deal with changes in personnel, it is with regret that two of our Associate Editors, Simon Wilson and Keith Soothill, have decided to retire from being actively involved in the Journal of Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology. Simon, in addition to being an Associate Editor, was also the Book Review Editor of the Journal for many years where his scholarship, together with his maverick interests, enriched this area of the publication so that he made the Book Review Section for many, a 'must read' section of the Journal. Keith, as a sociologist, again brought a fresh impetus to the publication and, although his reign as an Associate Editor was relatively short-lived, his contribution to Forensic Mental Health in general through his Editorship of the Handbook of Forensic Mental Health and his acting as Chair of the National Forensic R & D Programme (now sadly disbanded) has been very significant. Both will be sadly missed as active Editors and I am very grateful for their endeavours. We are fortunate, however, in being able to recruit three very able replacements. First, Mary Whittle has replaced Simon as Book Review Editor. Mary is a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist at the John Howard Centre who, I understand, uses the classical literature to train and educate higher trainees in forensic psychiatry. She clearly has the credentials to carry on the very high standards set by Simon. I am also very pleased that Mark Freestone has joined us as an Associate Editor. Mark trained as a social anthropologist and has an especial interest in research methodology. Mark's interest in the socio-cultural determinants of forensic services will be especially valuable as will his expertise in qualitative research. Finally, I would like to welcome Richard Whittington who has recently been appointed to a Chair in Mental Health at University of Liverpool. He has a background in both psychology and mental health nursing and has published widely on psychological and social aspects of violence in both institutional and community settings. As this is core business for much of the practice in forensic mental health, Richard's expertise in this area, together with his familiarity with research methodology, will prove to be especially useful in evaluating papers submitted to the Journal. Last, but certainly not least, I should mention that Lorna Viikna has handed over the administrative baton to Ginette Taylor. Lorna assumed administrative duties for the Journal during a time of considerable flux in ISSN 1478-9949 print/ISSN 1478-9957 online © 2011 Taylor & Francis DOI: 10.1080/14789949.2011.536398 http://www.informaworld.com
