New Virtual Issue

"The Caged Children Generation: When Governments Authorize the Practice of Child Maltreatment" is the latest Special Virtual Issue compiled to address the recent policy of forcibly separating thousands of immigrant children from their parents in an effort to deter immigrants without legal documents from entering the United States at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The current virtual issue presents key articles from across SPSSI's journals and aims to inform public discourse on this national calamity using psychological science.

"Tell it Like it Is:
 

Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Call to Behavioral Scientists"

The June 2018 edition of the Journal of Social Issues re-publishes Martin Luther King Jr.'s address to the APA 1967 Convention which came at the invitation of SPSSI as a way to compare and contrast the ways in which psychological research has succeeded and failed to "tell it like it is."
