Going to ASC in Chicago? We’d love to capture the Annual Meeting for the Spring issue of The DLC Criminologist. If you’d be interested in covering the meeting for us, please get in touch. We’re looking for photos and reflections on DLC sessions, events, discussions, or memorable moments. Even if you can’t commit to covering the conference, please send us your photos (with names if possible) and highlights.

If you have annual meeting content, research, news, events, or other ideas for a future issue of The DLC Criminologist, please email asc.dlc.chair@gmail.com.
