APPLICATIONS TO VISIT THE INSTITUTE OF CRIMINOLOGY

Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 restrictions; the uncertainty as to when the Institute of Criminology building will be fully functioning again (so that we will be in a position to welcome visitors safely to the building); we are not currently accepting any new applications from academics and students wishing to visit the Institute.

We very much regret this situation.

Please do stay in touch with us though, and if you wish to visit the Institute in the future you can contact Faith Payne (PA to the Director) in the Director's Office for further advice: crimvisitors@crim.cam.ac.uk
