"Crime Mapping: A Journal of Research and Practice" is now accepting
manuscript submissions for its inaugural issue, to be published in the
Spring of 2009. Submissions should focus on (1) the theoretical
dimension of crime mapping and analysis (i.e., the use of GIS
techniques to advance the scientific body of knowledge with respect to
criminological theories such as routine activities theory, crime
pattern theory, or environmental criminology), (2) some applied aspect
of crime mapping and analysis that addresses issues related to GIS and
the administration of justice (i.e., ways GIS techniques are used to
aid in management decision making, strategic planning, and/or tactical
analysis), or (3) new technologies and/or techniques related to
conducting spatial or temporal analysis in the field of criminology or
criminal justice.

The deadline for submitting manuscripts to be considered for the
Spring 2009 issue is December 1, 2008.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as an email attachment
sent to Timothy.Hart@.... For those who prefer not to submit
