States of Criminology: A Colloquy of Criminologists working in Poland and the UK

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

Throughout 2024 criminologists from the University of Warsaw and the University of Sussex have engaged in a series of dialogues with the aim of developing a transnational understanding of the criminological topics that inspire our research. This colloquy marks the culmination of these meetings and serves to hold a space for discussants to reflect upon and share what they have learned through this process. Discussants will reflect upon their work on issues of Criminal Law Reform, Policing, Hate crime, Short-term Detention, and the state of Criminology more generally. The last decade has proven politically volatile for both Poland and the UK - how have criminologist's in both academies responded and what can they learn from one another for the future?
