Each year in June the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) organize the Stockholm Criminology Symposium, which takes place in central Stockholm and usually features over 200 speakers who presents their research and share their experiences in over 60 sessions.

The event is organized in conjunction with the award ceremony of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology. The prize ceremony 2026 will honor the prize winners professor Charis E. Kubrins, and professor Mark W. Lipsey, both from USA.

Following professor Kubrin’s awarded research, the first main symposium theme will be Understanding of Migration, Ethnicity and Crime, and following professor Lipsey’s research the second main theme will be The Power of Crime Prevention Programs. Besides that, there is also a general theme, Contemporary criminology, which covers a broad range of subjects in the area of criminology.
