Institute of Criminology Public Seminars: 'Punishment Without Trial: Research And Policy In Out-Of-Court Disposals By Police'

Speaker: Dr Peter Neyroud CBE QPM, Deputy Director, Police Executive Programme, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge

Since 1963, UK police have been conducting research on the public interest benefit of out of court disposals. Recent work by the Cambridge Institute of Criminology’s Jerry Lee Centre has accelerated the policy discussion about using conditional cautions and deferred prosecution with both adult and juvenile offenders of low and medium risk. This seminar reviews the half-century of research findings and the recent policy proposals by the government, in the context of budget cuts to police, courts and corrections.

The IoC Public Seminar Series is open to all interested in attending, with no ticket required, but please notify Reception if you wish to attend: crimrece@hermes.cam.ac.uk.
