Criminalistic-criminological research in the police is a field of tension between politics, science and practice. The main aim of the symposium series is therefore to strengthen and expand the exchange between stakeholders in North Rhine-Westphalia on selected topics of criminological research.
As the title of the event series already implies, the aim is to achieve results that are particularly important for the future work of security stakeholders. The events are therefore primarily geared towards future developments and challenges.
The third symposium on the topic of "Children and young people as perpetrators of violent crime" focused on the spread and development, manifestations and conditions of violent crime in childhood and adolescence.
The two-day symposium was planned and organized by the Criminalistic-Criminological Research Centre of the LKA NRW. The hybrid format included keynote speeches, panels on various topics, a video presentation, a panel discussion and the online presentation of ongoing KKF projects. The results of the symposium are briefly summarized below and are presented in the event documentation.
For detailed information on the proceedings, the content of the lectures and program as well as the results of the symposium, please refer to the event documentation. In addition, the most important contents can be found as a short conference report in the open access journal "Kriminologie - das Online Journal (KrimOJ)".
