Building A Legacy of Knowledge Generation Production and Publication in Criminal Justice and Public Safety
Vol. 2 No. 2 (2025)Editor’s Foreword
The December 2025 issue of FACCI Journal features a wide range of scholarly works that collectively advance the discourse of criminology, criminal justice, public safety, and allied disciplines. This issue exemplifies the journal’s continuing commitment to rigorous research that tackles the challenges of our time, and that is informed by ethical practice, community engagement and evidence-based policy making.
The articles published in this issue address key topics such as gender and leadership in correctional institutions, public service motivation of criminology students, emotional regulation and grit among police officers, human rights–based policing, community-oriented policing initiatives, violence against women and children, fire safety governance, security training, and tourism protection. Together, these studies highlight the changing and multidimensional nature of public safety work in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Several contributions foreground lived experiences – be it of female jail wardens, police officers, security professionals, or community members – to highlight the human dimension of law enforcement and correctional practice. Some have applied quantitative and mixed method approaches to evaluate motivation, compliance, capability, and program effectiveness, providing practical insights for institutional improvement, training enhancement, and policy reform. The authors show scholarly rigor and a clear commitment to socially responsive research across the methodologies.
This issue also underscores the importance of rights-based, community-centered and gender-responsive approaches to justice and security. Overall, the studies highlight the need for continued institutional support, ongoing professional training, inter-agency collaboration and community engagement to build trust, accountability and resilience in public safety institutions.
The Editorial Board would like to sincerely thank all the authors, reviewers and contributors who have made this issue possible. We hope this volume will be a useful resource for researchers, educators, practitioners and policymakers and will stimulate further inquiry and innovation in the pursuit of justice, safety and human dignity.

Building A Legacy of Knowledge Generation Production and Publication in Criminal Justice and Public Safety
Vol. 2 No. 1 (2025)Editor’s Foreword
Criminology, criminal justice education, and public safety stand at a decisive moment. Across communities and institutions, long standing assumptions about crime, punishment, prevention, and public safety are being tested by new social realities, emerging technologies, and evolving expectations of justice. In this context, the role of scholars, practitioners, and educators has never been more vital—or more complex. This journal is founded on the belief that the refinement of our fields depends not on isolated expertise, but on sustained dialogue among those who study crime, those who respond to it, and those who prepare the next generation to do both.
This publication serves as a shared intellectual space where theory meets practice, and where empirical rigor is paired with ethical reflection. We welcome contributions that challenge orthodoxies, interrogate policy, and translate research into actionable insight. Criminology, at its best, does more than explain criminal behavior; it interrogates the social, political, and economic conditions that shape harm and control. Criminal justice, at its most effective, is not merely procedural, but principled—grounded in evidence, accountability, and respect for human dignity.
For practitioners, this journal seeks to elevate professional practice through research informed strategies and critical reflection on lived experience in policing, corrections, courts, and community based interventions. For educators, it offers a forum to rethink pedagogy, curriculum, and professional formation in ways that respond to a rapidly changing public safety landscape. For researchers, it provides a venue for methodological innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful engagement with policy and practice.
I invite readers and contributors to approach this journal as a collaborative endeavor. Let it be a place where difficult questions are asked with intellectual honesty, where disagreement is conducted with respect, and where knowledge is produced in service of the public good. By bridging scholarship, practice, and teaching, we aim not only to advance the fields of criminology and criminal justice, but to contribute—thoughtfully and responsibly—to safer, more just societies.

A Research Journal Towards the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals
Vol. 1 No. 2 (2024)Editor’s Foreword
In the pursuit of a more peaceful, equitable, and inclusive society, criminology and criminal justice education stand as a vital discipline that bridges theory, policy, and practice. The December 2024 issue is dedicated to exploring how criminological research significantly advances the realization of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The research featured in this issue demonstrate the pivotal role of the field beyond traditional crime analysis. They illuminate how evidence-based research can support policy reforms, strengthen institutions of justice, and promote human rights and social equity. From looking into the digital realm and its role in crime prevention in the community, examining the use of anti-criminality campaign program to enhance community-centric policing, to assessing program implementation, the research in this issue highlight criminology’s indispensable role in advancing sustainable development.
The SDGs call for collective and interdisciplinary action. The findings shared by the contributors in this issue provide valuable evidence and data that can inform policymaking and drive transformative changes in the community.
As editor, I extend my deepest appreciation to the researchers and reviewers whose dedication and scholarship made this issue possible. Their works not only enrich the field of criminology but also affirm its relevance in achieving a more just and sustainable world.
May this issue inspire continued dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in research that bridges criminology and sustainable development.
