2025 Conference on the Economics of Crime and Justice

The 6th annual Conference on the Economics of Crime and Justice, co-hosted by the Becker Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago and London School of Economics, will be held on May 8-9, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.  We aim to assemble scholars from around the world to discuss recent work on issues involving the economics of crime and the criminal justice system. We particularly welcome submissions for studies that address pressing policy issues, long-standing problems in the field, or innovative methods.

Authors of selected papers will be notified in February. Funds to assist with travel and lodging expenses are available for the presenters of accepted papers. Presenters are expected to attend the full conference.
