These events are part of celebration of the 70-year jubilee of the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, University of Oslo. The department’s researchers have for decades been involved in public debate about society’s exclusion mechanisms, crime, policing and punishment, and many have contributed to knowledge that has affected the development of Norwegian society. We use this jubilee to look back, taking stock and looking forward, and we invite the public to join us in a series of events that we hope will reach broad audiences.
