form
This one-day conference
focuses on research evidence from the British Crime Survey, the
Home Office Offenders Index and the Scottish Crime and Victimisation
Survey. Papers cover a range of issues, including the distribution
of crime victimisation in the general population, changes in offending
profiles with age, property crime and fear of crime. The conference
will be relevant for those with an interest in crime and associated
policy areas. The day seeks to present research with policy relevance
and we particularly welcome attendance from policy makers, analysts
and senior academics.
