====================
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to participate in a new initiative undertaken
by the European University Institute in Florence to build up an
internet-based database concerning ongoing projects in the fields of the
history of police, legal institutions, criminology, and crime.
The idea for this database came about during the preparation of an
international conference on the history of criminology in the summer of
1997. The need for some kind of easily accessible and more systematic
collection with information on current projects became evident to
Richard
Wetzell, the other organizer of this conference, and me when we received
almost 100 outstanding abstracts.
Once fully set up, the database should allow everyone to track down
scholarly initiatives in her/his fields of interest easily and quickly;
provide short abstracts of the projects and any references to papers
which
have already been published; and, finally, it will also indicate the
best
means of contacting the director of the respective project. The areas
which will be included are, specifically, those of institutional,
intellectual, social, and cultural studies on crime, police, and
criminology. Last but not least, the database clearly depends on the
contributions you make: thus, the more information you and your
colleagues
provide, the better the service it will give to everyone.
We would therefore kindly ask you to visit our webpage at
http://www.iue.it/HEC/Criminology
(please note the capital letters) where the exact procedure for
submitting
and retrieving information is outlined in detail. When entering a
project, you will be asked for a passcode, which is
6943
All suggestions for further links to internet-resources related to your
fields of interest would also be very welcome.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. Please forward this e- mail
to
your colleagues in the field and do not hesitate to contact us if you
have
any further questions.
