Contributing Editor Community

In the April 2021 edition of the The Dispatch, we annouced our decision to modify our existing editorial structure and introduced the concept of the Contributing Editor Community (CEC). This more open structure enables us to build on the strengths and demonstrated commitment of our original editorial team as we set out to include a wider, more global, and more diverse range of suitable Editors. In turn, the CEC structure will offer a more flexible structure to attract contributing Authors and their works that will shape each Journal issue, and to recognize and tap into a worldwide network of qualified Reviewers to ensure the continuing excellence of our published selections.

The Journal is proud to have the following Contributing Editors as part of our team to ensure that our mission is heard more widely, such that more and more voices are brought into this global conversation about better ways for achieving community safety and well-being, everywhere.
