Not unlike many other ESC Working Groups, Covid 19 served to slow - but not to stop - the activities of the TWGJJ over the period 2022-23.

For the 22nd annual ESC conference that took place in Malaga (21-24 September 2022), the TWGJJ ‘judged’ and facilitated: six pre-arranged panels; 51 individual paper presentations and nine poster presentations. The TWGJJ had a strong presence at the conference.

A number of members of the TWGJJ attended a special meeting in March 2023 to share research news and prepare for the 23rd annual ESC conference scheduled to take place in Florence (6-9 September, 2023).

For the Florence conference, the TWGJJ ‘judged’ and facilitated: six pre-arranged panels and 30 individual paper presentations. The TWGJJ will again have a strong presence at the conference.

A special meeting of the TWGJJ has been arranged to take place at the Florence conference on Wednesday, 6 September at 10.00-11.30 hours.

The TWGJJ continues to maintain an email list that allows members and others interested in juvenile justice to share news of events, new research/publications etc. Colleagues can subscribe to the list at: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=ESC-TWGJJ
