Editorial Policy

Objectivity and Accuracy

reachviolenceprevention.org is dedicated to objective, evidence-informed reporting. We rely on high-quality research, practitioner expertise, and data from credible institutions. Claims are verified prior to publication, and we avoid sensationalism. When consensus is evolving, we acknowledge uncertainty and present the best available evidence alongside practical implications.

Transparency

We clearly label news, analysis, opinion, and sponsored material. Conflicts of interest are disclosed, and funding sources do not influence editorial decisions. We timestamp significant updates and note corrections within articles so readers can see what changed and why.

Sources and Citations

We prioritize primary sources—peer-reviewed studies, official statistics, and expert guidance—supplemented by reputable secondary sources where appropriate. Citations are provided through links or references within the article. We balance research with practitioner insights and lived experience, while maintaining editorial independence. Our aim is for reachviolenceprevention.org readers to understand not only what we conclude, but how we arrived there.

Inclusivity and Care

Topics involving harm and trauma require sensitivity. We use person-centered language, avoid victim-blaming, and consider cultural context. We include resources and help information where appropriate. These principles guide every piece of content we publish on reachviolenceprevention.org.
