Qualitative Criminology (QC)
Volume 2, Number 2 (2014)
Welcome to the second issue of volume two of the Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice & Criminology. Rather than closing with acknowledgments, I would like to start this editorial introduction with them. First and foremost, I would like to thank both the editorial board members and the reviewers for this volume of the journal. Their names are listed at the beginning of this issue for without them, this journal would not be possible. Still further, if it was not for the hard work and dedication of my book review editor, Kevin Steinmetz, who recently accepted an academic appointment at Kansas State University, one-half of this particular issue would not have been possible. And finally, the three people who have helped professionalize this journal must be lauded for their hard work and efforts and they are Ronda Harris (copy-editor), Harriet McHale (publishing), and Melina Gilbert (webmaster). I sincerely appreciate everyone’s hard work and commitment to the journal.
