More than three dozen experts in crime and justice gathered at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Square where they exchanged ideas with more than 400 registrants on a variety of topics, including alternatives to criminal justice systems, community-based violence prevention, stop-question-and-frisk policies, and improving the recruitment and retention of law enforcement officers.

Cynthia Lum, Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society and director of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, has been named the 2023 Distinguished Scholar from the American Society of Criminology’s (ASC) Division of Policing.
