What is the significance of a Flemish Society of Criminology for criminologists?
In this article we take a look into the early history of the Flemish Society of Criminology, which was
established in 2007. Despite the early history, today the society is searching for a reorientation. To guide
this reorientation a needs assessment with a broad range of criminologists is executed in 2019. Based
on the results of this needs assessment a critical analysis is made on the shortcomings of the operation
of the society so far and reflections on new directions are put forward.
