The Crime Waves: NextGen Xchange is a premier, four-day no-cost virtual summit designed to bridge the gap between academic theory, professional practice, and community engagement. In a rapidlyevolving justice landscape, the Xchange brings together national experts, high-level executives, and pioneering scholars, with students, practitioners, and community members uniting to advance the next generation of criminology.

Attend each session to earn a “NextGen Advocate” badge. Complete the series by attending all sessions and earn the “NextGen Justice Practitioner” master credential and digital badge. Participants will receive a digital badge alongside a certificate of attendance.
