Title: WSC Abstract Due Sept. 6
Course: CJ601-01:Seminar in the Administration of Criminal Justice

Hi everyone,

Some students mentioned that they'd be submitting an abstract for the 2025 Western Society of Criminology (WSC) annual conference. The abstract is due on September 6, 2024, and must be submitted through their online system.

It's important to note that not everyone has experience with what an abstract entails. So, below, I've included a brief video breaking down the tips of how to write an abstract, an example from my own submission for the 2025 WSC conference (with Dr. Josh Chanin), and snapshots of two abstracts -- both from my recent publications. Hopefully all of these will help you develop your own abstract to submit.
