“On 18-19 February 2009 the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) is hosting a two-day symposium in Sydney to celebrate our 40th anniversary.

The symposium will focus on the contribution that research can make to criminal justice administration and law and order policy.

A limited number of speaker slots are available in concurrent sessions. We would like to invite any Australian researcher currently conducting research into crime, criminal justice or any allied field to submit an abstract.

Those interested in presenting at the symposium should email the title of their paper, the name(s) of the presenters, a contact phone number and an abstract of no more than 200 words to BOCSAR no later than 11 July 2008. The email address to which this material should be sent is bocsar_symposium@agd.nsw.gov.au

Full details and registration information is available on the website: www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au/bocsar_symposium

Please direct inquiries to bocsar_symposium@agd.nsw.gov.au or phone 02 9231 9190. “
