Research students undertaking doctoral research on crime, deviance and criminal justice issues. This is an opportunity to present your research, have it discussed by leading European researchers and, if selected, published in an edited book. The summer school is probably most suited to research students in their second and third years.

The fourth GERN Summer School for doctoral students will take place in Paris (Maison des initiatives étudiantes, 50 rue des Tournelles, 75003 Paris) from Monday 7 September to Wednesday 9 September 2015. It will be organised by Cesdip (University of Versailles, CNRS, Ministry of Justice).
