About this Event

The Centre for the Study of Crime, Criminalisation and Social Exclusion (CCSE) would like to invite you to:

Control without Care: Drugs, Enforcement and Social Harm

with Professor Julia Buxton

This CCSE talk is based on the research conducted by Professor Julia Buxton during a four year British Academy Global Professorship. It seeks to explain dramatic shifts in the international drug trade, to analyse the harms which have emerged through established models of control, treatment, and prevention, and to engage with some of the obstacles which currently hinder effective policy responses.

Julia is Professor of Justice Studies in the School of Law and Justice Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. She was previously British Academy Professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Manchester, and Associate and Acting Dean in the School of Public Policy at the Central European University, Budapest.

Free refreshments will available from 5pm in John Foster Building, Room G03 with the talk and Q&A in G01 from 5.30-7.30pm. The session will be followed by a post event social with free refreshments and space for discussion and solidarity. All welcome!
