Comprising senior academics with extensive expertise, mid-career scholars, and early-career researchers bringing fresh insights, the committee fosters a vibrant environment that ensures a comprehensive dialogue on contemporary issues in the field. Additionally, the inclusion of student representatives enriches our discussions by incorporating diverse perspectives and fostering a collaborative atmosphere.

The committee's members come from both national and international academic institutions, enhancing the global relevance of our discourse. Together, they strive to create a platform that not only advances scholarly contributions but also nurtures future leaders in criminology and victimology.
