Submissions sought for inclusion in Irish Probation Journal 2012 (February 2012)
The Irish Probation Journal is a joint initiative between the Probation Service and the Probation Board for Northern Ireland and is established as an authoritative and respected forum for those interested in Probation policy, research and practice, related criminal justice issues and in developing debate about work with offenders.
The Journal has a wide national and international circulation and provides an important platform and opportunity for members of the Probation Service, the PBNI and others to present articles on issues, developments and research of interest to a wider audience.
The editorial committee of the Irish Probation Journal is now working to prepare the Irish Probation Journal 2012 (Volume 9) which will be published in Autumn 2012.
If you have thoughts or material for an article, comment/opinion piece, practice note, research report or book review we would like to hear from you as soon as possible. First draft of proposed contributions should be received before the end of April at the latest to facilitate review and editorial preparation.
Information on the type and length of contributions can be found inside the back cover of the current Irish Probation Journal.
It is important that you consult with an editorial board member at the earliest possible opportunity if you are considering a contribution to the Irish Probation Journal whether you are basing an article on a dissertation or report, writing on a practice initiative or policy development or developing an article on a related criminal justice issue. The editorial committee is available to assist and advise in as practicable way as possible.
Please contact Suzanne Vella, joint editor, ( sbvella@probation.ie) , Gerry McNally (gpmcnally@probation.ie), Ursula Fernée ( ugfernee@probation.ie), Brian Santry ( bwsantry@probation.ie), Margaret Griffin, SPO ( mmgriffin@probation.ie ) if you require further information or wish to discuss a possible contribution to Irish Probation Journal 2012.
