The Sentencing Forum is a new online meeting space designed to complement the existing academic structures in the sentencing field.
We have conferences, workshops, working groups, and project-based collaborations, but we rarely have regular, lightweight meetings that keep conversations going between major events. The Forum aims to fill precisely that gap: a recurring space where researchers working on sentencing and criminal justice decision-making can stay connected, discuss new ideas, and follow ongoing developments across jurisdictions and disciplines.
Jointly organised by the ERC projects Sentrix and Reconstructing sentencing, the Forum offers short, focused sessions centred on a single theme: methodological, conceptual, empirical, or comparative. The intention is not to create a new organisation or compete with existing networks, but to add an extra layer of continuity to the discussions already happening in the field.
Detailed information about the Sentencing Forum is available on Sentrix website.
