SEMINAR: Is it possible to hold undercover policing to account?
At this event we will discuss a new draft publication into the undercover policing of political protest groups and social movements. The publication focuses on the views of those who have been subject to this practice. We will also discuss whether it is possible to hold undercover policing to account.
There will also be presentations on:
1. The reviews and inquiries that have taken place into undercover policing revelations, their findings, recommendations and implementation to date. Dr Raphael Schlembach, University of Brighton
2. Current practice regarding undercover policing and an overview of current accountability and scrutiny practices. Dr Katerina Hadjimatheou, Universty of Warwick
3. Given the vital role of civil society organisations have been shown to have in holding undercover policing to account, how can these capacities be strengthened and protected in future? Dr James Mehigan, Open University
Central London, 4th July 2017, 11am-4pm.
