York Crime Walk

York Crime Walk was designed and created by a diverse group of criminologists and sociologists from the University of York as a way of promoting understanding of crime and criminal justice.

York Crime Walk is supported by the University of York’s Department of Sociology, CrimNet and the Research Centre for Social Sciences (ReCSS), York Museum Trust, and York Archaeological Trust.
