CRIMVOL

CRIMVOL, an international research network of academics interested in criminal justice voluntary sector (or non-profit) research, was nested within prisonHEALTH until 2024.

CRIMVOL was established in 2017 by Philippa Tomczak with generous financial support from the British Academy (Rising Star Engagement Award), Leverhulme Trust (Early Career Fellowship), Socio-Legal Studies Association (Seminar Competition) and the University of Sheffield Centre for Criminological Research. From 2020-2024, CRIMVOL was co-directed by Gillian Buck, Senior Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Chester.

CRIMVOL hosted 'working paper' seminars and contributed papers and panels to academic conferences internationally. 'Working paper' seminars provided a supportive space for discussions, networking, and career development. Members took on various roles in the network including chairing meetings, writing blogs, delivering papers, attending events, organising events and delivering personal development workshops.
