About the Network
The BSC Historical Criminology Network aims to promote
historical work on crime and criminal justice, broadly defined, in a way which
brings together people from (and hence benefits) a range of disciplines. It
also aims to foster engagement with history and historical materials in teaching
in criminology and bridge the gap between past and present in the study of
crime/criminal justice, fostering new research collaborations in this area.
About the BSC

Kingdom. Click here for the BSC website.
