Abstract

Welcome to issue 14.1 of the Journal of Aggression, Conflict and Peace Research. This issue presents a special focus on addressing contemporary issues in violence and victimization utilizing transdisciplinary and practitioner engaged approaches. Although researchers have examined a diverse set of issues related to violence and victimization, they often work within their own isolated disciplines, limiting the capacity to identify and evaluate comprehensive and effective prevention and intervention programs for this complex social problem. The articles in this issue, therefore, reflect a combination of empirical and theoretical work and case studies that draw on transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary working groups and scholars.
