An academic Criminology workshop relating to the topic of the Miscarriages of Justice, taught by an Aberystwyth University lecturer.

"Miscarriages of Justice" - Criminology Workshop
In 1991, scholar Martin Yant concluded: ‘An innocent person in prison…is about as rare as a pigeon in the park!’ Wrongful convictions are much more common than we dare to think and are a global phenomenon. Many of the issues associated with wrongful convictions are the same over time and indeed globally. Drawing on criminological theory and research worldwide, including my own research undertaken over two decades, this workshop will examine wrongful convictions in a criminological context, over time (including the changing face of wrongful convictions), in different settings, and in a variety of countries.
NB: this session is available virtually and on campus only.
AberWorkshops are designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into university study and subject pathways while encouraging critical thinking and discussion.
