24.01.2022 We have some great events coming up with international criminologists. This one tomorrow is a must see for anyone interested in policing... Police Engagement With Academia Professor Betsy Stanko OBE... DATE: Thursday 12 November 2015 TIME: 4:00 5:30 pm ROOM: UNSW Law School Staff Common Room (second floor) The seminar Betsy Stanko is one of the few academics who joined the police. In 2003, she started working for the London Metropolitan Police. Since then, she has created a social science function within a police service, and for the last 18 months, taken her team to work in the Mayors Office for Policing and Crime in London, the oversight body for policing. Betsy talks frankly about how difficult it is to change policing, to align police decision making with evidence in a growing evidence based world, and how pushing change from the inside is both rewarding and not. She has just published (along with Paul Dawson, her number one colleague in her team) Police Uses of Research: Recommendations for Improvement (Springer 2015). She is currently the Professor in Residence at the Australian Institute for Police Management. The speaker Professor Betsy Stanko OBE is Head, Evidence and Insight, Mayors Office for Policing and Crime in London. For over a decade, she worked inside Corporate Development, London Metropolitan Police Service, establishing a social research function alongside performance analysis. In her first life, she was a professor of criminology, teaching and researching at Clark University (USA), Brunel University, Cambridge University and Royal Holloway, University of London (where she is an Emeritus Professor of Criminology). She has published over 80 books and articles over her academic career. The most cited of these works is Intimate Intrusions: Womens Experiences of Male Violence, published in 1985, and reissued as an ebook by Routledge in 2013. She has been awarded a number of lifetime achievement awards from the American Society of Criminology, most notably the Vollmer Award (1996), recognising outstanding influence of her academic work on criminal justice practice. From 1997-2002 she was the Director of the ESRC Violence Research Programme. In 2002, she joined the Cabinet Office, in the Prime Ministers Office of Public Services Reform. In 2013 she was a member of the Adebowale Commission on Mental Health and Policing. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts, a visiting scholar at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge, and a Visiting Professor both at UCL and City University London. She was awarded an OBE in the Queens 2014 Birthday Honours List.

This panel event canvasses some of the debates in the community. It will discuss: what is the evidence for and against the laws? How are they impacting the community? What is reasonable and unreasonable regulation? Our speakers for the evening include: Dr Don Weatherburn (Director, BOCSAR) Professor Murray Lee (University of Sydney) Associate Professor Kane Race (University of Sydney) Professor Julia Quilter (University of Wollongong) This event is completely free! but registration is essential.

16.01.2022 UNSW Criminology students, this is a fantastic opportunity!!! Internship shoutout for S2 The Curatorial & Exhibitions team at Sydney Living Museums is currently developing The Unusual Suspects, an exciting exhibition with a planned national and international tour.... The exhibition will be based on the collection of photographs of suspects taken by NSW police between 1919 and 1930 (the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive [FPA]). Candid, self-posed and full of personality, the photographs in this collection are highly sought after by external researchers. Two internship projects are being offered this semester which involve contributing to the development of The Unusual Suspects exhibition: The Unusual Suspects Touring Exhibition Research This internship involves researching international photographic archives with the aim of contextualising the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive which will be the basis of the exhibition. The intern will undertake research across a variety of platforms to locate criminal photography archives from the 1919-1930 period held in overseas collections. The intern will contribute to the research stage of the exhibition development, building on existing research skills to identify images that relate to content for the tour. Working under guidance from an experienced Project Manager and Curator, the intern will participate in project meetings and will gain an understanding of project timelines and how an exhibition is developed. The Unusual Suspects Crime Exhibition Development This project provides the opportunity for an intern to work closely with the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive held at the Justice & Police Museum. Working under guidance from an experienced Curator, the intern will undertake research across a variety of platforms to establish individual criminal histories of key returned servicemen/ANZACs, pulling together & summarising information that will help inform exhibition content. Applying existing research and writing skills, the intern will develop and manage research files and write descriptive database entries, as well as participate in project meetings.

10.01.2022 Indigenous Incarceration and Violence: New policy approaches to developing safe communities. Prof Marcia Langton AM and Josephine Cashman. Despite making up only three percent of the overall population, Indigenous Australians are twelve times more likely to be incarcerated than the wider community and make up 40 per cent of those imprisoned for assault offences. Indigenous women are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised and 7-8 times more likely to be killed as a result of... domestic violence. A focus of Prof Langton and Cashman's work to date has been addressing these national crises. Does the current policy discourse assist in reducing incarceration rates and victimisation of Indigenous Australians? Prof Langton and Cashman will discuss why policy approaches focusing on employment and economic development can empower Indigenous communities and turn the tides on these devastating statistics.

05.01.2022 Upcoming Criminology Lecture with Don Weatherburn (BOCSAR) - Wednesday 11 May 2016. Rack 'em, Stack 'em and Pack 'em": Decarceration in an Age of Zero Toleranc...e In the 66 years between 1918 and 1984, the Australian imprisonment rate rose by just 13 per cent. In the 29 years that followed, it more than doubled. Australia now has more than 36,000 people behind bars. Our imprisonment rate exceeds that of Canada, the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The Indigenous imprisonment is now more than 45 per cent higher than it was at the time of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. The rate of female imprisonment has quadrupled since 1982. In this lecture, Dr Don Weatherburn (NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research) will discuss how we got to this point, what costs and benefits we've accrued along the way, and what measures might be effective in reducing rates of imprisonment. This event is chaired by Professor Eileen Baldry (UNSW) Time: 5:30pm (registration & refreshments), 6pm -7:30pm Lecture Location: Common Room, Level 4, New Law Building (F10), Eastern Avenue, University of Sydney Cost: Free, however registration is essential For more info and to register, head to our website: http://sydney.edu.au/news/law/457.html
