Gene Carte Student Paper Competition

Any student currently enrolled on a full-time basis in an academic program at either the undergraduate or graduate level is invited to participate in the American Society of Criminology Gene Carte Student Paper Competition. These awards are given to recognize outstanding scholarly work of students. Persons who are previous first place prize winners of this competition are ineligible.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place papers will be awarded prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively, and will be eligible for presentation at the ASC Annual Meeting. The 1st prize winner will also receive a travel award (generally hotel accommodations) to help defray costs for attending the Annual Meeting. Papers may be conceptual and/or empirical but must be directly related to criminology. The paper can be submitted to only one ASC student competition in the same year. Papers that previously won any prize in any ASC competition are ineligible for submission to another ASC competition.
