Justice Reimagined: Bold Ideas, Real Impact

In a world where social harms evolve faster than our systems can respond, criminology stands at a crossroads. Justice Reimagined: Bold Ideas, Real Impact invites scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community voices to rethink what justice can be — and to do so with courage. This theme challenges the field to move beyond critique and towards transformation. It asks participants to imagine justice systems that are not only reactive but visionary; not only evidence‑based but human‑centred; not only innovative but grounded in lived realities across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the wider region.

Call for abstracts: The call for abstracts is now open. Abstracts are due 15 June, 2026.
