Changing inequality in exposure to crime webinar
Thursday 1 October, 3pm – 4.30pm (BST)
Chair: Professor Stephen Farrall (University of Derby)
Speakers: Professor Jon Bannister (Manchester Metropolitan University) and Professor Susan McVie (University of Edinburgh)
Discussant: Peter Langmead-Jones (Greater Manchester Police)
In recent years, crime has fallen across the UK, but inequality in exposure to crime has been rising. Some communities and social groups continue to be affected by high levels of crime. Whilst crime-related calls-for-service to the police have fallen, the police face increasing demands to meet vulnerabilities associated with public safety and welfare. The police are becoming the service of first, rather than of last, resort. This webinar will explore aspects of inequality in offending and victimisation and how this varies across people and place. It will deliver insights into some of the drivers of crime inequality and identify key lessons for policing policy and practice.

Is London the engine room of global corruption?
October 7, 2020
Many think that the influence of oligarchs and dictatorships doesn’t reach our day-to-day lives in the UK, but is that really the case if our businesses and systems are facilitating their power?
In this event we’ll be asking how enablers in the UK capital are helping corrupt elites around the world conceal wrongdoing. How do they get away with it? What is the effect on the UK’s democratic institutions? And what should be done?

Shaping policing responses to crime inequality webinar
Wednesday 14 October, 3pm – 4.30pm (BST)
Chair: Professor Stephen Farrall (University of Derby)
Speakers: Professor Jon Bannister (Manchester Metropolitan University) and Professor Susan McVie (University of Edinburgh)
Discussant: TBC (Police Scotland)
In recent years, policing has faced major resource constraint and budget cuts. Capability and capacity have been stretched as the demands being placed upon the police have changed and grown. This webinar will explore aspects of inequality in policing response to crime and vulnerability, and, how these are connected or differ across people and place. It will consider the potential for reshaping policing resources to enhance the capability and capacity of officers to meet emergent challenges, and develop strategic and operational approaches to tackling or reducing inequalities.
