CALL FOR PAPERS

The modern criminal justice system is a comprehensive system of practices and institutions of governments directed at maintaining social control by mitigating crime. The term ‘Law, Order and Criminal Justice’ is used to cover all the different agencies and organisations that are involved in enforcing law and order, preventing crime and meting out punishment, and how they work together in establishing the principles of equity, fairness and justice. In this fast-changing world, these practices and institutions cannot remain static. They must change and evolve as criminals and syndicates also adapt to the changing system. This conference focuses on the spirit and the form of the following 5 pillars of the criminal justice system:

• The community

• Law enforcement

• Prosecution

• The court

• The correctional system

Paper submissions are welcome from all disciplines including but not limited to law, economics, education, philosophy, politics, social work and sociology. Please submit a 300 word abstract (in Word format) before 15th August 2014 and send it to: Dr. Sonny Zulhuda at sonny@iium.edu.my or Dr. Majdah Zawawi at z.majdah@iium.edu.my .

Full papers are due on 30th October 2014 and those papers that are presented may be eligible for selection for publication in a special issue of IIUM Law Journal as well as other negotiated peer-reviewed journals.
