The Swiss Working Group for Criminology (SAK) is a Swiss association that deals with criminology .
The working group would like to bring “scientists, experts and practitioners into regular discussion with one another on current topics”. Its establishment was proposed in 1972 by Walter T. Haesler “at a meeting of the Swiss National Committee for Mental Health ”. “The first meeting of the new working group took place on December 7, 1972.” In 1974 it held its first conference in Olten on the subject of “ Juvenile delinquency and school ”. The international conference New Perspectives in Criminology , which took place in the same year at the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute in Rüschlikon, made it more popular.
The conference has taken place in Interlaken every March since the 1980s.
