The draft is conducted after the national AFL draft and before the start of the next AFL season. It is conducted at the same time as the AFL rookie draft.

List of criminologists This is a list of notable social scientists that work in the field of criminology and criminal justice. Although some government agencies hire individuals with the title "Criminologist," nominally a criminologist has a Ph.D. in Criminology or Criminal Justice. Since Criminology is an interdisciplinary field, individuals who have a doctorate typically in economics, history, political science, philosophy, and sociology, but who publish scholarly articles and books in the field of criminology and criminal justice are also considered criminologists. Although [forensic scientists] may have an understanding of criminology and criminal justice, they are not by definition criminologists.
