The Police Foundation’s 2019 annual conference will explore the role of community engagement and its importance to the challenges and opportunities the police face, both now and in the future.

Confirmed speakers include:
Sir George Hamilton QPM, former Chief Constable, Police Service of Northern Ireland
Olivia Pinkney, Chief Constable, Hampshire Constabulary
Professor Ben Bradford, Director, Institute for Global City Policing, UCL Jill Dando Institute for Security and Crime Science
Attendees will also be the first to hear about our ground-breaking research findings on understanding the public’s priorities for policing which looked at what the public want and their understanding of what the police do in 2019.

The Scottish International Policing Conference 2019
Digital Policing: ethical challenges regarding the role of technology in policing
Edinburgh
December 10, 2019
This year the SIPC will explore ethical, legal and societal concerns raised by the incorporation of various forms of technology and the challenge of policing in a digital sphere. This may range from a consideration of the introduction of mobile working into police organisations, body worn cameras, facial recognition software, artificial intelligence, to social media, cyber security, surveillance and digital forensics, for example. A number of areas are worth considering e.g. public perceptions, experiences and police legitimacy; the impact on police officers and the ability of policing organisations to fulfil their functions; and implications for regulation and governance.

Howard League for Penal Reform
Two-day international conference to be held at Keble College, Oxford
Tuesday 31 March – Wednesday 1 April 2020
How social harms are understood, questioned and tackled can have a profound effect on how communities approach crime and justice. This conference comes at a time when communities across the world are experiencing change and uncertainly affecting how they understand themselves and challenges to the status quo. Coping with, responding to and supporting such uncertainty and change brings challenges for political institutions, criminal justice agencies and civic society in developing values, strategies and systems.
We will bring together academics, policy makers, practitioners and those directly affected by the criminal justice system to discuss, reflect on and suggest alternative strategies.
The Howard League’s conference will consider the intersection of issues relating to crime, justice and social harms. Building on the Howard League’s Commission on Crime and Problem Gambling and the burgeoning international concern around it, we are keen to explore the impact of problem gambling on patterns of crime and the societal harms that link crime and problem gambling.
We will be announcing speakers soon.
Call for Papers
The Howard League is looking for papers from academics, policy makers, practitioners, PhD students and researchers from within the criminological and legal disciplines, however we are also keen to include contributions from fields of study including philosophy, geography, political science and economics.
We will consider theoretical, policy, practice-based and more innovative contributions around a wide range of issues that encompass the broad theme of justice and the wider conference themes.
