Changing Contours of Criminal Justice  is an edited collection of essays designed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Oxford Centre for Criminology by exploring the changing contours of criminal justice over the past half century. The contributors to this volume were invited to reflect on the impact Oxford criminology has had on the discipline, providing a unique and critical discussion about the current state of criminal justice around the world and the origins and future implications of contemporary practice. All are internationally-renowned criminologists whose work has defined and often re-defined our understanding of criminal justice policy and literature.

Overview

Since 2014 Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre has brought some of Australia’s finest writers and thinkers to Bendigo to talk about what ‘justice’ means in our contemporary world – and we’re pleased to announce that Talking Justice is returning to Bendigo in May for Law Week 2016! Watch the #TalkingJustice2016 video here

This year’s line-up of speakers and performers builds on this annual event’s strong foundation of passion, expertise, diversity and respect. And our 2016 program continues to reflect our desire to present alternative visions and to canvas issues from the local to the international. The program encompasses global dislocation, crime and punishment, gender equality and diversity, the creative journey, racism and local and global inequality.

Our moderator for Talking Justice 2016 is Martin Krygier. Martin is the Gordon Samuels Professor of Law and Social Theory, and Co-Director of the Network for Interdisciplinary Studies of Law at the University of NSW.
