This issue is a continuation of our pubfication `Law and crirninal justice — towards research minded poficy-making' (1976), and it is based on the number 7 issue of 1977. 3 The review of the research projects is preceded by two introductory articles that appeared in the 1976 and 1977 issues, respectively written by dr. D.W. Steenhuis and dr. J.J.M. van Dijk. For ease of reference an index has been included of all subjects dealt with. The projects have been arranged according to sub-field or subject investigated.
