The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from various fields of the social sciences who have been studying different questions related to crime and punishment in Latin America at universities in the United Kingdom, both as doctoral students and as lecturers and professors. This conference is intended as a kick-start to building a network of such UK-based researchers, to reinforce various forms of exchange and collaboration between them. But we also see it as a platform to increase the levels of exchange and collaboration with social researchers working on these issues in the diverse national contexts of Latin America.
This event is in person only.
