Free Research Resource: KrimDok
Looking for reliable criminological literature? KrimDok is a free online database developed by the University of Tübingen and supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
The database contains nearly 400,000 references to books, journal articles, reports, and other publications covering criminology and related fields such as criminal justice, psychology, sociology, education, and law. It draws on a specialist criminology library established in 1969, with a collection of around 150,000 titles, and includes indexed articles from more than 200 academic journals.
For probation professionals, researchers, policymakers, and students, KrimDok offers a practical way to find evidence-based knowledge on topics including desistance, rehabilitation, restorative justice, sentencing, and offender management.
Whether you are preparing a research project, developing policy, or looking for literature to support your daily practice, KrimDok is a valuable and freely accessible resource.
