The Stockholm Criminology Symposium is an annual three-day forum arranged in conjunction with Stockholm Prize in Criminology. First held in 2006, it attracts around 500 participants from some 30 countries.

The symposium is organised by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, an agency of the Ministry of Justice.

The primary purpose of the symposium is to create an environment where international criminologists, policy makers, practitioners, and others involved with crime policy issues can learn about the latest developments in criminological research and related issues relevant to crime policy.

Lectures by the laureates are a central feature of the symposium. The programme otherwise includes over 60 parallel seminars with more than 200 speakers. The programme’s main theme is always based on the prize winner’s field of study. A complementary in-depth topic is also addressed, along with a broader topic covering a comprehensive range of contemporary criminology issues.
