Introduction

The Conference Committee invites academics, researchers, students and practitioners to submit abstracts on all aspects of research, teaching and policy relating to legal and psychological disciplines. Abstracts do not need to be restricted to the conference themes, but preference will be given to those that do if the conference is over-subscribed.

The abstract should make clear the questions which the paper seeks to answer, the procedures used to provide answers and the evidence drawn upon. This should make clear whether the report is based, for example, on case studies or quantitative data and give some indication of the nature and scale of the sample. If the paper is a speculative consideration of an issue or set of issues then how any conclusions will be defended must be made clear. If the data does not exist at the time of preparing the abstract this should be honestly stated and the date when the data is expected to be available should be mentioned.

The Conference Committee reserves the right to schedule individual abstracts as papers or posters, but will try to satisfy all requests.

It is recommended that each speaker make no more than 2 oral presentations (however, they may be second or third authors on as many papers as they wish) .
