14 Crim. Just. & Behavior 3 (1987)

handle is hein.journals/crmjusbhv14 and id is 1 raw text is: AN EDITORIAL PROSPECTUS C riminal Justice and Behavior enters its fourteenth year of publication with a new editor. Stan Brodsky served as its founding editor and saw it through eight years to a place of prominence among academic journals. We continued our good fortune by having Don Gottfredson serve as editor for the next five years, during which time he broadened the scope of CJ&Bto include criminological perspectives. One could hardly go wrong by simply following Drs. Brodsky's and Gottfredson's examples, and in fact we will continue to publish the highest-quality manuscripts dealing with research, theory, and application of behavioral science to the criminal-justice system. Manuscripts may include empirical studies, reviews of literature, and critique that may provoke rethinking of an issue. We hope to publish special issues concerning a seminal topic. Currently, such an issue is being organized regarding substance abuse, and another is in the planning stages. It involves a review of various classification systems used in corrections. Also, we hope to experiment with the germinal paper-critique-rebuttal format used by Brain and Behavioral Sciences, and being adapted by the Journal of Social Issues. This format involves a major theoretical paper, invited critiques by leading thinkers in the paper's content area, and a rebuttal by the author of the major paper. Third, we hope to publish more book reviews. Finally, I have begun to review papers using one editorial board member and one outside reviewer whenever possible. If you have suggestions for special issues, a major paper, or wish to be involved in book or manuscript reviewing, let us know. Remember, science is a dynamic activity involving our creative energies, just as high-quality practice is the artful application of scientific findings. Our goals are mutual: to foster scientific understanding of the criminal justice system and the development of humane and effective practices for its clients. -Allen K.
