Welcome to the website of the Stockholm Criminology Symposium

The Symposium is organized by the Swedish National Council of Crime Prevention on behalf of the Swedish Government.

Focus on Policing
One of the two main themes for 2010 is Improving Policing and will feature a broad selection of innovative approaches and police methods, as well as research findings from different parts of the world.

It has also become a tradition that the Stockholm Criminology Symposium presents a large number of panels under the theme Contemporary Criminology. This theme covers a broad range of areas of criminology and crime policy and provides an updated overview of the current state of the knowledge.

News on the program will be updated regularly on this website.

Registration and abstracts
It is now possible to submit papers and suggest full panels. Full information about how to proceed is available in the menu to the left under Call for papers. Registration will open by mid-December. To receive news on the latest development of the Symposium, please join our mailing list.
