Reflections of the CRS conference (2018)

Click here to read a report by PhD student Michelle Shelley on her impressions and reflections of the CRS conference that took place in Prague, 2018.

Under the title “What is Good Prison Research?” the Symposium aims to elaborate on questions, such as:

Bridging the gap – how do we build trust and cooperation between the academic community and Prison Services?
What are the challenges and difficulties of prison and post-prison research?
Leaving prison and beyond – how do we best integrate ‘desistance’ research with prisons research?
How do we identify and combine the needs of academics and Prison Services?
What questions should Prison and Post-Prison Research be asking?
Should Prison Services develop in-house research and / or closer relationships with external research institutions?
Can we give examples of outstanding applied research – focusing both on methodology and content?
What makes evidence credible?

The Symposium would like to address these questions through panel sessions with researchers and practitioners, through plenary presentations and workshops.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The Symposium will address these questions through panel sessions with researchers and practitioners, through plenary presentations and workshops.

We are inviting experts from all over the world:
