It will be an opportunity to engage in discussions around the role and value of quantitative and qualitative data sources, and an opportunity to explore new innovations in research methods and design in the field of sentencing research.
The organisers invite participants to submit a paper for discussion on the theme of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed empirical approaches to sentencing as a practice, broadly defined. Papers are welcome from any jurisdiction, and from applicants of any level and any affiliation, including doctoral students, independent scholars, and researchers in government institutions or the voluntary and community sector.
To submit a paper, please send a paper title and an abstract (max. 250 words) to d.j.hayes@sheffield.ac.uk by 14th June 2019.
Due to the wide range of methodological, disciplinary, and professional backgrounds we hope to draw together at this event, abstracts and papers should be written in as accessible a manner as possible, without expecting a particular prior level of experience with different research methods or analytical frameworks.
For informal enquiries about proposing an abstract or the conference in general, please email Dr David Hayes at: d.j.hayes@sheffield.ac.uk.
All delegates must register to attend the workshop in advance, whether or not they are presenting a paper. To register, please sign-up at: by 27th June, 2019.
Travel Bursaries
The Centre for Criminological Research is able to provide limited travel bursaries to assist in getting to ºù«Ӱҵ.

Priority will be given to applicants travelling from overseas (or otherwise over long distances, such as from Scotland and Northern Ireland), applicants who have no other means of supporting their travel costs, and applicants who are currently enrolled as doctoral students.
