As a community, we lift while climbing.

By facilitating a network of Latina/o/x scholars who mentor, teach, advise, inform, encourage, and celebrate each other's progress and success in academic and scholarly spaces, we:

Showcase

Latina/o/x scholars’ criminological research agendas and accomplishments.

Support

Latina/o/x scholars in their academic, research, and activist pursuits for justice.

Advance

The study of the intersections among crime and justice, democracy, and actions of citizenship for the Latina/o/x population.

Peace cannot exist without justice. Justice cannot exist without fairness. Fairness cannot exist without development. Development cannot exist without democracy. Democracy cannot exist without respect for the identity and worth of cultures and peoples.
