Three themes stand out in this issue of Social Justice. The first is human rights violations as they apply within the U.S., in NATO's war in Kosovo, in Tibet, and vis-à-vis girl children and young women worldwide. The second centers on the contest over gender issues in social policy: the Christian Right's use of bible devotionals to promote an agenda that opposes women's reproductive rights, women's entry into the work force, and women's alternative lifestyle arrangements; the criminalization of mothers (mostly African American) for drug use; and legislative approaches to controlling hate crimes and reducing the incidence of certain male sex crimes by chemical castration. The final contributions expand on postmodern and chaos-theory research as it applies to conflict resolution and the confinement of the mentally ill.
