Manuscripts are solicited for Police Practice & Research: An International Journal (PPR) (www.tandf.co.uk/journals or www.ipes.info/journal.asp). PPR is a peer-reviewed, international journal that presents current and innovative academic police research as well as operational and administrative police practices from around the world. Manuscripts are sought from practitioners, researchers, and others interested in developments in policing, analysis of public order, and the state of safety as it affects the quality of life everywhere. The journal seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge that exists regarding who the police are, what they do, and how they maintain order, administer laws, and serve their communities in the world. Attention will also be focused on specific organizational information about the police in different countries and regions of the world. PPR publishes special issues on various topics of interest. Proposals for such issues are always welcome. The best papers presented at the Annual Meetings of IPES [International Police Executives Symposium] are also published in a special issue. A specific goal of the editors is to improve cooperation between those who are active in the field and those who are involved in academic research. To this end, the editors encourage the submission of manuscripts co-authored by police practitioners and researchers.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be electronically submitted to: Associate Managing Editor Anthony Sciarabba (ppranthony [at] yahoo.com) or any other editor. Manuscripts should normally be no more than 25 typed pages (Word, Times New Roman, 12 Font, Double-Spaced) in English. Manuscripts should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 100 words, up to six key words, and a brief biographical sketch. For a complete “Notes for Contributors,” one should refer to www.tandf.co.uk/journals or visit www.ipes.info.

Proposals to Advance Measurement of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the United States, 2008 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data - proposals due May 13, 2008.
The 2007 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data brought together over 100 researchers and data providers to examine thirty-eight new and recently updated data sets. While the availability of these data sets is exciting and promising for research, substantial gaps exist in our knowledge bout innovation and entrepreneurship remain. One path for advancing our current understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation is to enhance existing data collection efforts through such means as adding questions, revising existing ones, and modifying methodologies.
The Kauffman Foundation will host the 2008 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data in order to provide a forum for proposing and discussing changes in data collection efforts. As with the 2007 event, researchers, data providers, and policy analysts will be invited. The Symposium will be held in November 2008 in Washington, DC.
In preparation for the Symposium, the Kauffman Foundation seeks to commission a series of short papers proposing incremental changes in existing U.S.-based data efforts that would significantly advance the study of entrepreneurship and innovation over the next five years.</blockquote>Full call for proposals is here.

Southern Illinois University School of Law announces a conference on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
The conference will be held on February 22 and 23, 2008, at the law school. The focus of the conference will be on the process by which the court decides cases, including its relations with other courts. Topics to be covered include aspects of the judges’ decision-making; the court’s caseload and how it is handled; the way in which circuit precedent is developed and announced; and the court’s relationship to district courts and the Supreme Court. This will be one of the first academic conferences to examine the workings of this important and influential court. Presenters and commentators will include several judges of the court, district judges, and political science and law professors.
There will be no registration fee for the conference, but advance registration will be required. The conference is offered for CLE credit, which will require a fee.
