The international jury’s motivation for Charis E. Kubrin and Mark W. Lipsey receiving the award is that they have shown, through their own research and systematic reviews of relevant research, that immigration does not generally drive societies towards higher crime rates and that rehabilitation programs can work and reduce crime among convicted offenders.
The Stockholm Prize in Criminology Award Ceremony will take place on the evening of June 9 at Stockholm City Hall in conjunction with the Stockholm Criminology Symposium, June 8-10, 2026.
