Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mini-conference brings together two networks of scholars: Empirical Research on Sentencing network and the Empirical Criminal Law Working group of the European Society for Empirical Legal Studies. Their joint focus is to study the criminal justice system and its underlying official and unofficial principles and mechanisms. Research employing a wide range of empirical approaches, including quantitative, experimental, qualitative, and mixed-method designs is welcome. The focus should be primarily on empirical legal aspects and criminal policies, not primarily focusing on crime and crime prevention. Research from all over the world is welcome, although slight preference might be given to research hailing from wider Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
