This inaugural issue of Policing: a Journal of Policy and Practice launches with a bang. First, it is devoted to the topic that is at the top of policing agendas throughout the world: the response to global mass—casualty terrorism, epitomized by, but far from restricted to, the attacks of September 11 2001. Secondly, it sets a precedent for what we hope will be the defin- ing characteristic of this journal: an informed conversation between practitioners and aca- demics.
