How to join
- Submit the online membership application form.
- The membership committee assesses your application and recommends it for payment.
- We email you a payment QR code. International members may instead request a PayPal link.

Membership does not mean that SASCV endorses or certifies your skills or your work. A separate certification programme for SASCV-certified clinical criminologists and socio-rehabilitative criminologists is planned under a committee headed by Professor Natti Ronel, Clinical Criminologist, Israel.
