ABSTRACT
On the occasion of Jon Conte’s retirement as editor of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, this article reflects on the future direction of the field of interpersonal violence. The author argues that in the current reactionary political climate, interpersonal violence researchers should adopt a public science framework that is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and inclusive in order for the field to continue to grow and develop effective prevention and intervention strategies to address all forms of interpersonal violence.
