British Society of Criminology Vulnerability Research Network
Description
The British Society of Criminology Vulnerability Research Network offers a means for discussion, critical analysis, and knowledge sharing among diverse and dispersed members of the British Society of Criminology and others. As such, its aims are as follows:
- To provide an arena for BSC members and non-members to critically explore the use of term ‘vulnerability’. As noted above, the term is widely used and is generally recognised within numerous situations and across many criminal justice and other agencies. This network will address the ways in which it is used whilst also being critical of its (over)-use and impacts.
- To provide an arena for BSC members and non-members to share research and experience on vulnerability from academic, policy and practice perspectives.
- To advance understandings and stimulate debate on vulnerability across the spheres of research, policy and practice.
- To promote the inclusion of vulnerability and its manifestation within the criminal process, and connecting areas of socio-legal concern, into criminological teaching and learning strategies, curricula and/or benchmarks.
- To foster opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange among interested parties, including researchers, policy makers, civil society organisations and the public, among others.
- To engage with and involve service users and those with lived experience.
- To share opportunities for research and scholarly development amongst members, including forming networks for bids and studentships.
To achieve these aims, the The British Society of Criminology Vulnerability Research Network will engage in activities that include:
- Organising and hosting conferences, seminars, symposia and book launches; including a panel at the BSC conference.
- Disseminating information via email, scholarly publications, social media and other means;
- Responding to policy consultations and/or requests for information;
- Engaging in tendering and funding bids;
- Collaborating with policy makers, practitioners, governmental and third sector organisations.
