Editors Report
to
the
Australian and
New
Zealand Society
of Criminology Executive Meeting February 200 I
Ihave pleasure in submitting areport
to
the
Executive for
the
period from
September 1999 to January 2001. In this period a revamped journal has been
with published with AAP, one issue of which was the special Millennium issue,
edited by Associate Professor
Bill
Tyler, whom I would like to thank for the consid-
erable effort he put into making it a success. Apart from the stimulating content of
both that
issue
and the special issue the previous year, their publication has meant
that as editor I now have a significant breathing space as regards the need for copy.
As I had written in my last report, "if we were to relysolely on unsolicited papers
now being sent to the journal we would have had difficulty in publishing three
issues a year." I am pleased to say
that
there is now approximately a one year
waiting list from acceptance to having a paper appear in print, which is in line with
most of the other refereed journals I am associated with. I think it is also clear from
the increase in papers received over the last couple of years (see below) that this
delay is certainly
not
putting off potential authors - indeed, perversely, it may
have the opposite effect, enhancing the reputation of the journal. There are no
plans at this stage for another special issue, but I am always open to offers.
Contents
of
the third issue
of
the journal include:
Peter Grabosky: Crime Control in the 21st century
Carol
Ronken
and
Robyn
Lincoln: Deborah's Law:
the
effects
of naming and shaming on sex offenders in Australia
