15 Crim. Just. & Behavior 3 (1988)

handle is hein.journals/crmjusbhv15 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S PREFACE I take particular pride in introducing this special issue. Dale Posey, the issue editor, has been one of the truly excellent psychologists who blends the sensitivity of the clinician and the scholarly approach of the researcher with his dedication to his work in the field of correctional psychology. This issue focuses on typologies. The beginning of any field of inquiry involves parsing phenomena or identifying types of people. The creators of major classification systems of types of offenders, or their collaborators, have been asked to recount how they developed their system and how they assess its current status. We hope this provides a special insight into the systems, and an opportunity to evaluate the state of the field as a whole. These should help the practitioner more artfully apply these systems to their own situation, to foster empirical evaluation of these efforts, and to enable the researcher to consider the next generation of typologies. We hope this issue excites you as it excited us in its development, and that this excitement sustains you in your work. Allen K. Hess Editor from the SAGE Social Science Collections.
