British Society of Criminology Conference 2025: Criminology for Social Justice
In-person
1st Jul 2025 to 4th Jul 2025
With inclusivity at its core, our focus is on how Criminology furthers the development of human rights, equal opportunities, integrity and fair treatment within the criminal justice system, and promotes the interests of disadvantaged communities and groups. We welcome all approaches, including critical conceptual and methodological approaches, lived experience, as well as civic engagement and applied research. The conference aims to further influence decision-making in government, and improve public policy, society, and everyone’s lives. We look forward to hosting you in Portsmouth by the sea in 2025!
The conference is face-to-face. We are bringing together delegates from diverse backgrounds (academics, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, businesses) to discuss and share ideas on the most seminal and pressing issues in criminology today. Like previous years the conference programme starts with a dedicated postgraduate research day, and comprises plenary sessions, parallel sessions, roundtables, a poster session, and author meets critics sessions. We provide opportunities to network, expand your knowledge, and to present ideas to others.
