Psychology, Public Policy & Law

Dear Colleague:

It is with great excitement that I have assumed the role of Incoming Editor for Psychology, Public Policy, and Law. I encourage you to submit your manuscript for consideration to be published in this journal.

As a multidisciplinary journal, Psychology, Public Policy, and Law provides a forum to critically evaluate the contributions of psychology and related disciplines to public policy and legal issues, and vice versa.

Looking forward, our plan is to broaden the coverage and readership of the journal. My vision for the journal can only be reached by continuing to publish the types of high quality articles now being submitted while expanding submissions from scholars outside the journal’s traditional base. It is imperative to foster a dialogue with, not simply dissemination to, lawyers and public policy analysts and to move beyond a relatively narrow focus on criminal justice issues. The psychology, public policy, and law space is much broader than this and the journal should position itself as the forum for these issues and debates. My goal, and the goal of the editorial team, is to ensure that Psychology, Public Policy, and Law becomes the first journal that you consult when you seek informed discussion among issues as diverse as: 

• Appropriate post-separation parenting plans
• Adoption, fostering, placement, and child welfare intervention
• The inclusion of children's voices in civil law contexts
• Educational policy
• Mental health treatment
• Involuntary confinement or treatment

I hope that you will strongly consider submitting your paper to Psychology, Public Policy, and Law.

Cordially, Michael E. Lamb, PhD
