In Memorium:

Charles T. (Terry) Hendrix

Those associated with Homicide Studies were saddened to learn of the passing of Terry

Hendrix, a retired Journals Editor at Sage Publications. As described in the inaugural

issue of Homicide Studies, a group attending the 1994 American Society of Criminology

meetings decided on a leap of faith to pursue the establishment of a journal devoted to

the study of homicide. One member of the group knew Terry from previous work with

him and thought he would be an excellent contact to begin sorting through how this

might be accomplished. Terry was attending the meetings, so was approached the next

day. It developed that Terry was quite interested in the concept and thought Sage

would be interested. He was right, and over the next 2 years personally spearheaded

the effort to make it happen under the sponsorship of the Homicide Research Working

Group. He continued to be quite involved with the journal as it endured the ups and

downs of the early start-up years.

Those involved with the journal, past and present, owe a debt of gratitude to Terry

Hendrix for his contribution in providing the criminology and criminal justice com-

munity with Homicide Studies, a journal now in its 27th volume. He is remembered

with great fondness and appreciation.
