CfP: North East Crime Research Network Conference

The North East Crime Research Network is a network of academics and practitioners in the fields of criminology, criminal law and related disciplines. We host events across the North East region and are delighted to be hosting our third biennial conference in York in 2018. The conference is open to all academics including postgraduate and early career researchers; whether you are based in the North East, or if you are further afield and would like to come and visit us in the wonderful city of York to share your research/best practice, and further your networks in the region. Our aim is to provide a friendly and supportive network for discussion and the sharing of ideas.

More information about us, and our previous events, is available via our website: http://northeastcrimeresearchnetwork.weebly.com
