Le troisième Symposium on the History of Crime est un forum ouvert aux étudiants pour leur permettre d’explorer les problématiques liées à l’histoire du crime. Ce symposium annuel a vocation à rassembler des doctorants, des docteurs, des étudiants en master ainsi que des enseignants-chercheurs en début de carrière dans un environnement académique accueillant et amical propice à la discussion et au débat. Les deux premières éditions de ce symposium se sont déroulées en Angleterre. La troisième édition réunira à Paris des étudiants venus des États-Unis, d’Angleterre et de France. Nous donnons au Symposium on the History of crime une portée volontairement large et une dimension transdisciplinaire en mêlant des thématiques et des sujets divers. L’objectif est d’encourager les jeunes chercheurs à participer et à présenter, en anglais, leurs recherches sur le crime, l’histoire du crime et le droit pénal.

The International Symposium on the History of Crime is a forum for international university students to explore the understanding of issues surrounding the history of crime. The annual symposium was created to bring together doctoral, masters, and undergraduate students as well as early career academics in a friendly academic environment that facilitates discussion around history of crime issues. This Third edition will be attended by students and academics from the USA, UK and France. The symposium is deliberately broad in reach and we make every effort to draw together wide and diverse topics in order that contributors feel encouraged to participate and present their research in-progress as well as engaging and informative short papers.
