Events
Talks, panels, workshops, and public criminology in person.
Public criminology is not only written. A good deal of the work happens in rooms: lectures, panel discussions, community forums, professional workshops, and media events. This page gathers that side of the work.
What this involves
The kinds of engagements
The work spans several settings, each with a different audience and purpose.
- Public lectures and talks. Accessible presentations on crime, policing, security, extortion, and justice, for general and student audiences.
- Panels and colloquia. Academic and professional discussions, often alongside other researchers, practitioners, and community voices.
- Community forums and town halls. Direct engagement with the communities most affected by crime and by criminal-justice policy, including the public meetings on the extortion crisis.
- Workshops and professional training. Sessions for police services, government agencies, educators, and community organizations.
The record
A record of public engagement
The clearest evidence of this work is the public record itself. More than thirty years of media appearances, lectures, and community engagements are documented on the Media Appearances page, with the recent focus on the B.C. extortion crisis traced from first analysis to first convictions.
A calendar of specific upcoming events will be published here as it is confirmed.
