David Goyes

2026-09-14

We are sad to farewell Co-Chief Editor David Goyes, who has been an integral part of the International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy since 2019 and served as Co-Chief Editor from 2023.

David has made significant contributions to the Journal, including establishing the Rosa del Olmo Prize in 2023 and leading the acclaimed Green Criminological Dialogues special issue series from 2019 to 2026. An internationally recognised scholar and Research Professor at the University of Oslo, David's work has advanced critical and southern criminology, with particular focus on environmental harm, Indigenous justice and Latin America.

We have been enormously fortunate to benefit from David's scholarship, generosity and commitment to supporting authors and fellow editors. The success of a Diamond open access journal depends on the dedication of volunteers who give their time to editorial work, peer review and community building. David always approached these challenges with enthusiasm, professionalism and care.

On behalf of the Editorial Team, Editorial Board and wider Journal community, we extend our sincere thanks for his outstanding service.
