One of the largest and most important annual events in European criminology, this year\u2019s conference brought together 1,740 researchers and practitioners in the field from Europe and around the world. The theme of this year\u2019s conference was \u201cFrontiers of Criminology\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the conference, Dr Catherine Appleton, Senior Research Fellow at the LCSS Law Institute, chaired Session 248 and presented the paper \u201cHope of Release: The Implementation and Impact of Life Imprisonment in Lithuania\u201d together with her colleague Dr Simonas Nikartas.

In 2019, Lithuania introduced a legal mechanism allowing individuals sentenced to life imprisonment who have served 20 years of their sentence to apply for commutation. Despite the relatively widespread use of life imprisonment in Lithuania, no comprehensive national assessment has yet been conducted of the implementation and impact of these reforms.<\/p>\n<p><em>The project \u201cHope of Release: The Implementation and Impact of Life Imprisonment in Lithuania\u201d (IMPACT), carried out by the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, was funded by the Research Council of Lithuania under its \u201cResearch Groups Projects\u201d funding scheme.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rugs\u0117jo 9\u201312 d.
