On 25-27 April 2014, the Cambridge Private Law Centre and Trinity College hosted a conference entitled Comparing Tort and Crime. The conference was the last in a series devoted to understanding the relationship between these two areas of law.
Representatives from 8 jurisdictions gathered in Cambridge to debate and discuss procedural, substantive, normative and other aspects of this relationship. The work will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2015 as "Comparing Tort and Crime", edited by Dr Matthew Dyson.
