What we do

The Scottish Association for the Study of Offending (formerly the Scottish Association for the Study of Delinquency) aims to create a common meeting ground, nationally and locally, for all professional groups and individuals concerned with the issues raised by offending in Scotland. It provides an opportunity for an exchange of views by its members, enabling them to explain their own problems and to appreciate the problems of others engaged in related fields.

There are SASO Branches in Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fife, Perth, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Orkney and Shetland. Each branch carries out its own programme of meetings and local conferences.

SASO organises an annual residential conference on the 3rd weekend in November. It attracts distinguished speakers from both within and outwith Scotland.

The Association publishes The Scottish Journal of Criminal Justice Studies annually. It contains original articles, research briefings, reviews and conference reports on criminal justice in Scotland.
