RETHINKING PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
You are invited to a one day conference at Newcastle University on
Thursday 13th November 2008
This timely conference explores contemporary ways of rethinking
`confidence' in the Criminal Justice System and will introduce a range
of alternative perspectives on how `confidence' may be conceptualised,
measured and applied to questions of criminal justice, to a target
audience of professionals and policy-makers responsible for developing
national, regional and local strategies for improving levels of public
confidence.
It will be of interest to all stakeholders working at the coalface of
the delivery of public service agreements which centre on the
enhancement of public confidence in the effectiveness and fairness of
the Criminal Justice System.
The one-day event is based on a format of paper presentations which
showcase ground-breaking work in the area of public understandings of
and engagement with criminal justice matters. The presentations will
act as a springboard for practioner-led involvement in workshops and
roundtable discussions.
The event is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, and is
supported by the Newcastle Institute for the Arts, Social Sciences and
Humanities.
Speakers and contributors will include: Betsy Stanko, Rod Jarman, Martin
Innes, Stephen Farrall, Dan Gilling, Martina Feilzer, Elaine Campbell,
Liz Turner
