Call for Papers: 28th German Crime Prevention Congress

Dear Readers,

After three years of online and hybrid congresses, the German Crime Prevention Congress 2023 will return with its full presence and a broad range of prevention offers. The congress will take place on 12 & 13 June in Mannheim, Germany, and we cordially invite you to join us and visit the world's largest networking event in the field of crime prevention.

Call for Papers: Apply now

International experts from all areas of crime prevention are welcome to introduce, share and discuss their ideas, goals, outcomes, projects, and speeches with other experts on the DPT 2023. You can apply with a lecture, information stand at the exhibition, or poster. Deadline: January 31, 2023

The main topic of the 28th German Crime Prevention Congress is “Crises & Prevention”. In short, this year´s DPT is dedicated to topics such as the perception, impact, handling, and preventive approaches to solving current crises.

What to expect? We are very pleased to provide the English-speaking audience and our international friends and colleagues with a particularly exciting and broad range of events this year. The DPT will offer several lectures and panels in its Annual International Forum (AIF) – the English-language part of the congress. In addition, both the congress opening and the congress closing as well as some other German-language sessions will be simultaneously translated into English for you. In addition to this programme, we are also very happy to announce that the final event of the Secu4All project (public) and the General Assembly of the European Forum for Urban Security, Efus, (non-public) will take place at the congress, so it will definitely also be a great networking platform for international prevention.

Further information on the congress can be found on the German or English DPT website. Registration for the international audience opens in February. The congress programme will be published in March.

Please note: Until March 31st, congress tickets are available at the Early Bird Rate (215€).

We would be very pleased about your active participation in the congress and look forward to welcoming many of you to Mannheim. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best wishes,

Dr Claudia Heinzelmann
