***2ND CALL FOR PAPERS***

British Society of Criminology Conference 2008

9-11 July 2008
Hosted by the Applied Criminology Centre
University of Huddersfield

Criminological Futures; Controversies, Developments and Debates
***CALL CLOSES SUNDAY 13TH APRIL***

The title of the 2008 Conference reflects the breadth of contemporary
criminology and the diversity of theoretical and applied approaches to
analysing, explaining and reducing crime.

Whilst it is intended that the theme of the conference should reflect
the broad range of current debates and controversies within the field of
criminology, there will be a specific emphasis upon:

1. Building bridges between theory, research and practice
2. Technologies for crime detection and prevention
3. The role of Practitioners

There will be three major plenary sessions. In the first, Professor
Julian Roberts, University of Oxford and Dr Shadd Maruna, Queens
University Belfast, will be talking about issues surrounding Sentencing,
Rehabilitation and Reintegration.

In the second, Professor Barry Goldson, University of Liverpool and
Martin Narey, Chief Executive, Barnados will discuss the question of the
use of evidence in relation to youth justice policy and the link between
poverty and youth crime.

In the third, Professor Martin Gill, Director of PRCI and Professor
Sandra Walklate, University of Liverpool, will address the culture of
fear and surveillance: does it work?

Other highlights of the conference include a conference dinner speech by
Professor Jock Young, University of Kent, entitled "The Criminological
Imagination". There will also be a number of book launches, a series of
author/editor meets critics sessions and a conference dinner on the
evening of Thursday 10th July, held at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainsley
Top, Huddersfield.
