Abstract Book - 2nd International Conference on Criminology & Criminal Justice, 3-4, October 2026

This Abstract Book brings together the scholarly contributions presented at the 2nd International Conference on Criminology & Criminal Justice (ICCCJ 2026), conducted during 3-4, October, 2026, organised around the theme “Criminology and Criminal Justice in an Age of Disruption.”

The volume reflects the changing landscape of crime, criminal behaviour, victimisation, law, policing, investigation, corrections, and justice in a period marked by rapid technological, social, economic, and institutional change.

The contributions address a wide range of contemporary criminological and criminal justice concerns. These include emerging crime trends, gender and crime, juvenile offending, homicide, child victimisation, mob violence, white-collar crime, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, deepfakes, predictive policing, digital evidence, surveillance, cryptocurrency-related crime, technology-facilitated offences, and the changing relationship between technology and criminal justice. The volume also examines restorative justice, rehabilitation, intersectionality, social justice, globalisation, transnational crime, crime prevention, forensic science, criminal law, and victimology and victim justice.

A significant feature of the Abstract Book is its interdisciplinary character. The contributions draw upon criminology, criminal law, sociology, psychology, forensic science, public policy, technology, human rights, and related fields. They employ diverse approaches, including empirical research, quantitative and qualitative methods, doctrinal and comparative legal analysis, theoretical inquiry, case studies, and interdisciplinary research. The collection also brings together perspectives from different geographical and institutional contexts, reflecting the increasingly international character of contemporary criminological scholarship.

Taken together, the abstracts demonstrate how criminology and criminal justice are responding to new forms of crime and new forms of disruption while continuing to engage with longstanding questions of inequality, accountability, prevention, rehabilitation, evidence, victim protection, and justice. The volume provides a broad overview of current research and emerging debates and serves as a platform for academic dialogue on the future directions of criminology and criminal justice.
