About

About CrimSoc

The Cambridge University Criminology Society is a cross-disciplinary hub for exploring crime and justice, open to anyone at Cambridge with an interest in why crime happens and how we respond to it.

What we're about

Crime touches almost every part of society, and so does the study of it. We bring together academics, practitioners and students from criminology, policing, psychology, sociology, law, and further afield to exchange ideas and work towards better answers to real societal challenges.

We're a network for current and former University of Cambridge criminology students, as well as academics, practitioners and enthusiasts. You don't need to study criminology to join: curiosity is the only requirement.
