International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA) Code of Conduct

The International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA) is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and does not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on gender, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, citizenship status, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, socioeconomic status, criminal record, veteran status, or their intersection. ISRA is committed to providing safe and harassment-free environments at all ISRA activities, whether in-person or online.

Furthermore, ISRA members are expected to establish a culture of respect in which everyone feels welcomed and valued at ISRA activities. To accomplish this, ISRA members are encouraged to speak up when these values are not adhered to. When violations occur, they can be reported by using this anonymous form or by contacting the Executive Secretary or any Council member. If an individual feels that their safety is in jeopardy, they should immediately contact the appropriate law enforcement agency to file a formal complaint.

Violation of this Code of Conduct is considered by ISRA to be a serious form of professional misconduct. Depending on the severity of the misconduct, possible consequences may include a verbal warning, removal from an event without refund, restriction on attending future events, removal of ISRA membership, and forfeiture of previous awards or honors. In addition, ISRA reserves the right to notify a home institution or employer of misconduct. 

Note. This Code of Conduct was approved by the ISRA Council on 17 July 2024.
