===================================
Final Call for papers – Criminal Justice Stream SLSA Conference
2003 at Nottingham Trent University (April 14 -16).
As stream co-ordinator I have already received a number of
interesting abstracts and would like to encourage more. Abstracts
(up to 300 words) and title should be sent to me (Adam Crawford)
by the end of January 2003. See below for further details.

Some commentators suggest that the penal sanction and the
criminal justice response to crime is in crisis and point to its
limited capacity both to deter criminals and to meet its own
objectives of crime reduction. In response, in recent years there
have been a number of significant changes in diverse fields of
criminal justice. However, many aspects of legislation, policy
initiatives and practice developments sit awkwardly alongside each
other and are driven by competing logics based upon shifting
demands from politicians, the public, practitioners and managers.
Making sense of these changes is a major challenge for the socio-
legal community.
I would like to encourage proposals of papers or thematic
workshops on different areas of criminal justice policy and practice.
The following are just some of the areas in which papers are
encouraged, however this list is not meant to be exhaustive.
Policingand community safety
Regulatingviolence
Victimsin criminal justice
Managingcriminal court and pre-trial processes
Youthjustice crisis or renewal?
Speedingup justice
Restorativejustice
Communityjustice and criminal justice
Publicparticipation in criminal justice
Privatisationand criminal justice
Riskin criminal justice
Prisonand probation research
I am particularly keen to encourage papers that consider the
interface between criminal justice and other areas of social policy –
be it housing, education, health or environmental issues.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent via email no
later than 31st January 2003 to [log in to unmask]
Please include the title and a brief outline of the paper, together
with your name and institutional affiliation. Early submission would
be appreciated.
