The Division of Experimental Criminology

The Academy of Experimental Criminology

The Division of Experimental Criminology (DEC) is one of 6 divisions in the American Society of Criminology. The DEC seeks to promote and improve the use and development of experimental evidence and methods in the advancement of criminological theory and evidence-based crime policy.
The DEC recognizes outstanding achievements in experimental criminology through the Jerry Lee Lifetime Achievement Award, the Award for Outstanding Experimental Field Trial, and the Student Paper Award.
The Academy of Experimental Criminology (AEC) was founded in 1998 in order to recognize criminologists who have successfully led randomized, controlled, field experiments in criminology.
The AEC recognizes outstanding achievements in experimental criminology through election of Fellows and Honorary Fellows as well as the Joan McCord Award and the Young Experimental Scholar Award.
