Symposium LOT

The mission within the LOT-project is to provide answers to the challenges professionals face in their work with criminal family networks. LOT aims to break the intergenerational transmission of crime and victimisation, and reduce overall crime. The aim is to contribute to a safe future for children within criminal family networks; a future free from exploitation and criminal activity.

In collaboration with EUCPN, they are organising an online mini-symposium in which they will give a presentation on what they have collected with the LOT in the Netherlands and the insights they have gained from the interviews. 

This mini-symposium will take place on the 30th of November, from 2.30 until 5.00 PM (Dutch time). You can participate by clicking on this access link. No prior registration needed.

Background LOT
"How can we counteract the reluctance that has arisen to take action within the integrated effort on criminal family networks in which the target group strategically hinders professionals or forces professionals to perform or refrain from actions?”
That was the question we faced in The Netherlands. As an answer we set up a LOT. Our mission within this team is to provide answers to the challenges professionals face in their work with criminal family networks. We aim to break the intergenerational transmission of crime and victimisation and reduce overall crime. Our aim here is to contribute to a safe future for children within criminal family networks. A future free from exploitation and criminal activity.

Programme

At the beginning of this year, we had the privilege of conducting interviews with projects from Finland, Germany, Ireland and Sweden. During these interviews, we exchanged valuable knowledge and insights. As a token of appreciation, we organise this online mini-symposium in which we will give a presentation on what we have collected with the LOT in the Netherlands and the insights we have gained from the interviews. We organise this mini-symposium in collaboration with EUCPN, to continue the conversation about family crime networks. Although the niche in which we work is unique at European level, it is still important to share knowledge and work together.
