Workshop on the Economics of Crime, Policing and Punishment (Organiser)
5th July 2024, The University of Stirling
This in-person event brought together experts in the field to share their knowledge and research on the causes and consequences of criminal behaviour, victimisation, and conviction, and how they relate to effective criminal justice policy. There were paper presentations throughout the day on a range of issues of interest to academic staff, PhD students and policymakers, especially those with a focus on crime, as well as opportunities for discussion and networking over coffee and lunch. The keynote address, entitled "Addressing Suicide and Mental Health Challenges in American Prisons and Jails: Insights and Innovations" was delivered by Scott Cunningham, Ben H. Williams Professor of Economics at Baylor University.
