The Stockholm Prize in Criminology is an international prize in the field of criminology, established under the aegis of the Swedish Ministry of Justice. It has a permanent endowment in the trust of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology Foundation. The Stockholm Prize in Criminology is a distinguished part of the Stockholm Criminology Symposium, an annual event taking place during three days in June.

The prize is awarded for outstanding achievements in criminological research or for the reduction of crime and the advancement of human rights.

The objectives of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology are to promote the development of:

  • Improved knowledge of the causes of crime at an individual and structural level.
  • More effective and humane public policies for dealing with criminal offenders.
  • Better knowledge of alternative crime prevention strategies inside and outside the justice system.
  • Policies for supporting the victims of crime.
  • Better ways to reduce the global problem of illegal or abusive practices that may occur in the administration of justice.[1]

According to reputation surveys conducted in 2013-2014 and 2018, the Stockholm Prize in Criminology is the most prestigious international academic award in the field of law.[2][3][4]
