– In Memoriam: David P. Farrington (1944-2024)
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of David P. Farrington on 5 November 2024. David was a seminal figure in the field of criminology and a founding member of the European Society of Criminology in 2000. He was a plenary speaker at the Eurocrim conferences in Toledo, Spain, in 2002, and in Liege, Belgium, in 2010, where he shared insights from his groundbreaking work. His profound impact on the field of criminology and the many lives he touched will continue to resonate. David will be dearly missed.
– We regret to inform our members that Calliope Spinellis, a constant presence at the first ESC conferences, has passed away. A renowned Greek criminologist, Professor Emeritus Calliope D. Spinelli, had been Professor of Criminology and Penology at the Faculty of Law of the University of Athens. She served as Vice Director of their Centre for Penal and Criminological Research, Vice President of the Greek Society of Criminologists, and as an ad-hoc judge at the European Court of Human Rights.
