Abstract: Scopic (social contexts of pathways into crime) is a five year ESRC funded \nprogramme of research which aims to achieve a better understanding of how young \npeople become involved in crime. A key consideration in a research programme of \nthis type is how best to generate policy implications from academic research. This \nreport sets out a proposal as to how this might be achieved. It begins with a brief \ndescription of scopic; we then set out a framework for deriving policy implications \nwhich takes into account the validity of the research, and the practicality, feasibility \nand ethics of proposed policy options. Consideration is then given to how policy \nimplications might be made concrete. The report concludes with a case study in \nwhich the model is applied to one of the early published research papers from scopic \nand we comment on the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
