1 Crim. Just. & Behavior 3 (1974)

handle is hein.journals/crmjusbhv1 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION Ambrose Bierce, that most irreverent and witty cynic, once wrote that birth is the first and direst of all disasters. In thinking about the birth of this new journal, it seems to us that we have had equal doses of disaster and joy, but the journal is born, it is named, and it is our pleasure and responsibility to introduce it. The purpose of Ciminal Justice and Behavior is to publish reports of the ways in which behavioral sciences seek to understand and influence agencies, clients, and processes related to criminal justice. Two kinds of articles will be printed in the journal: original research studies dealing with behavioral science investigations into criminal justice, and reports of important program developments and other direct applications of behav- ioral science knowledge. Criminal Justice and Behavior is the official publication of the American Association of Correctional Psychologists. However, it is not intended to be focused exclusively or primarily on corrections, nor is it intended to be primarily psychological. Rather, the full range of justice issues and problems and the breadth of behavioral and social science knowledge are its scope. We begin with a commitment to being an international journal and avoiding provincialism that can accompany a national journal. A number of distinguished international experts have agreed to serve as members of the International Advisory Board. The editorial board itself is drawn from the United States and includes individuals from applied as well as academic settings. A special effort has been made to include demographically representative editors.
