As a result, the society said it is set to address the challenges facing the Nigerian Correctional Service and propose lasting solutions.

The society’s president, Professor Oludayo Tade, said in a statement in Ibadan on Monday that scholars in criminology and the criminal justice system would converge on the University of Abuja to examine correctional service reformation in the country against the backdrop of the challenges confronting the service.
According to him, the conference, which will take place on June 26-27, 2025, aims to present evidence emanating from the research conducted by members of the society aimed at promoting justice, achieving rehabilitation of inmates and ensuring social reintegration of discharged inmates.

Tade stated that the conference would feature presentations from over 100 researchers and postgraduate students in criminology and security studies.

The 2025 conference is themed: “Correctional service reformation in Nigeria: Promoting justice, rehabilitation and social reintegration”
