Participants will have the opportunity to present their research projects or thoughts on policy and practice, gaining valuable insights from peers and scholars across Wales.
The WCCSJ annual conferences allow members to forge connections which have underpinned pan-Wales research initiatives, making them a cornerstone of progress in the Criminology field.
