Inequalities impact directly on the experiences of offenders and victims. This conference examined established areas of concern such as gender, race and class and broadened the criminological gaze to newer areas such as terrorism, green criminology and migration, from interdisciplinary and global perspectives.

Keynote speakers

  • Kelly Hannah-Moffat, University of Toronto
  • Will Hutton, University of Oxford
