The Division on Women and Crime (DWC) of the American Society of Criminology includes top scholars in gender, crime, and justice.

At an October 11 Congressional Briefing, DWC researchers summarized “state of the science” in their areas of expertise and offered evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at improving justice for women and girls to a packed room.

DWC’s scholars were brilliant, articulate and passionate while advocating strongly to improve justice for women and girls.
