Editor-in-Chief of <i>Criminal Justice and Behavior</i>: A Reflection

Serving as Editor-in-Chief and contributing to the 50-year success of Criminal Justice and Behavior was a rewarding experience, and one for which I will always be proud. In this essay, I was asked to reflect on my experience, including research that I believed was most impactful, lessons learned, the future of Criminal Justice and Behavior, and the uniqueness of Criminal Justice and Behavior. As noted in this essay, I am proud of the accomplishments of my editorial team for continuing Criminal Justice and Behavior on a positive trajectory, and for the scientific contributions we published to serve the greater field. Criminal Justice and Behavior is well positioned to continue to serve the unique needs of correctional and forensic mental health professionals, and I believe it remains one of the premier journals for all professionals working in the criminal legal and forensic mental health sectors.
