Journal of Community Safety and Well-Being

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) is positioned to be the authoritative global resource for high-impact research that, uniquely, spans all human service and criminal justice sectors, with an emphasis on their intersections and collaborations. The Journal showcases the latest research, whether originating from within Canada or from around the world, that is relevant to Canadian and international communities and professionals. The Journal aims to attract a broad audience of multi-sector policymakers, practitioners and researchers worldwide. In 2018, the Journal became an official peer-reviewed publication of the Global Law Enforcement and Public Health Association (GLEPHA). The Journal publishes original works that may include Original Research (both Quantitative and Qualitative Studies), Social Innovation Narratives, Policy and Systemic Change Propositions, Random Control Trials and other Experimentation, Program and Horizontal Evaluations, Review Articles, Practice Guidelines, thought-provoking Editorials, Commentaries, and periodically includes lighter features as Food for Afterthought. Our Vision: Improved social equity and well-being outcomes for individuals, families and communities, everywhere. Our Mission: To advance knowledge, evidence and dialogue to support the considered adoption of public policy, the sustainability of related practices, and the best principles of multi-sector collaboration, at the intersections among health, education, human services and criminal justice systems.
