The Action on Offender Supervision involves participants from 22 European Countries.

Dr Nicola Carr, the local event organiser, is a member of the Management Committee for the Action. Commenting on the event she said: The Action has provided an excellent opportunity for early career researchers and established academics to engage in comparative research. It has also highlighted this important area of the penal system, which despite its expanding scale is often subject to limited research.’
