Registration via https://event.ugent.be/registration/envcrimtheorypract100325 from 05-01-2025 17:00 until 05-03-2025 17:00

Description

This will be an interactive workshop focusing on how environmental criminologists can generate impact on real world crime and anti-social behaviour problems. Most PhD students in criminology and law move out of academia to work in governmental agencies, NGOs, and private organizations but are not prepared to connect their education to practice. The workshop will include an explanation of the key theories and concepts, a historical perspective on implementing these within policing, and challenges that environmental criminologists have faced in making an impact. Case studies that have applied these theories and concepts to crime problems ranging from gun violence to mental health calls for service and homeless encampment problems to sexual assaults relating to bars will be discussed. Finally, time will be allotted for the students to ask questions on this issue. After attending the workshop, participants will have acquired a foundational understanding of how to engage in translating fundamental scientific research in environmental criminology into applied knowledge and actionable insights that are relevant to crime analysts in the criminal justice system
