25 Crim. Just. & Behavior 5 (1998)

handle is hein.journals/crmjusbhv25 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL CURT R. BARTOL Castleton State College S tan Brodsky (1980) wrote in his outgoing editorial several years ago that the name Criminal Justice and Behavior [CJ&B] was chosen to indi- cate that the scope of the journal was well beyond that of just correc- tions and that the scholarly audience was to encompass all the behav- ioral sciences, not simply psychology-a goal that largely has been met. (pp. 365-366) I intend to continue in this tradition with no major editorial changes planned. The journal will be open to any well-executed research and clearly written papers in forensic psychology, although we will con- tinue to have a preference for high-quality research in correctional psychology. I hope to continue the legacy established by previous editors Allen Hess and David S. Glenwick, who have masterfully guided CJ&B into the premier journal that it is today. Allen Hess (1996) wrestled with the term forensic psychology, wondering-as has Ronald Blackburn (1996) recently-if there is such a thing as forensic psychology. Glibly, I say absolutely. In the same sense that psychology recognizes industriallorganization psy- chology, clinical psychology, health psychology, counseling psychol- ogy, community psychology (and so forth), there is a forensic psychol- ogy. To me, forensic psychology refers broadly to the production and application of psychological knowledge to the civil and criminal justice systems. It includes such areas as police psychology, correc- tional psychology (including institutional and community correc- tions), psychology and law, victim services, and the delivery and evaluation of intervention and treatment programs for juvenile and CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND BEHAVIOR, Vol. 25 No. 1, March 1998 5-7 @ 1998 American Association for Correctional Psychology 5 from the SAGE Social Science Collections.
