Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement

The Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) was established in 1992 on the initiative of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Ministry of Justice. At that time the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) of the Ministry of Justice had a dominant position in Dutch research on crime and law enforcement while universities were weakened by a great numbers of budget cuts. Policy oriented research had become common practice and more fundamental research had almost diminished. The NSCR was founded to fill this gap.

1. 
   studying - in a fundamental, interdisciplinary manner - the interaction between crime and law enforcement with an accent on research in which processes are followed through time (although the NSCR also carries out contract research for a variety of clients, alongside the regular research programme);
   
2. 
   carrying out research, both independently and in collaboration with university organisations and publishing on these matters in scientific media;
   
3. 
   participating in research schools and in the training of young researchers;
   
4. 
   developing a national and international network of scientific researchers in the field of crime and law enforcement, in co-operation with other universities and research institutes by organising (inter-)national conferences, seminars, symposia, workshops and lectures on topical matters.
   

NSCR undertakes research that is preferably longitudinal in nature, whereby attention is paid to the interaction of relevant factors and a monodisciplinary approach is avoided as far as possible. For that reason research is conducted in collaboration with others outside the NSCR as much as possible and the staff within the institute come from diverse disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, pedagogy, biology, criminal law, political studies, public administration, and of course criminology. There are more than 40 members of staff in total.

Vacancies are advertised on the NSCR website.
