In early June, researchers from the Institute of Criminology, Dr. Miha Marčenko, Lovrena Jeromelj and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mojca M. Plesničar attended the European seminar The Role of Culture in Sentencing & Penal Decision-Making, which took place at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Mojca and Miha opened the seminar with a paper on the use of the concept of culture in sentencing research as part of a large-scale scoping review underway in their Sentrix project.
Lovrena presented her research on emotional labour in criminal justice, opening a wider debate on this important yet often overlooked area of inquiry.
