Introducing the new series of ISSRC Roundtables

Rural crime and criminal justice practices and responses face different challenges from those experienced in urban contexts. Our new series of ISSRC Roundtables investigate challenges in international contexts and provide opportunities for participants to promote their research and practice and build collaborations for future initiatives. Follow on Twitter @RuCrimSociety with #ISSRC2020.

Our first roundtable will be held on 26 June, and will focus on rural access to justice. Mark the date in your diaries and come along! To attend: Register via Eventbrite.

RURAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE – 26 JUNE 2020

Rural crime and criminal justice practices and responses face different challenges from those experienced in urban contexts. This Roundtable investigates challenges in international contexts and provides an opportunity for participants to promote their research and practice and build collaborations for future initiatives to promote access to justice. To attend: Register via Eventbrite.

We ask:

1. What are emerging issues in rural access to justice?
2. What are potential responses or solutions to these problems?
3. How can future research and practice enhance access to justice?

The panel:

Dr Danielle Watson
Senior Lecturer in Justice
Queensland University of Technology

Dr Liz Curran
Honorary Associate Professor
Australian National University and Principal Curran Consulting: Enhancing Justice & Human Rights

Emeritus Professor Joseph F. Donnermeyer
Acclaimed international rural criminologist
Ohio State University

Our expert scholars and practitioners will discuss emerging issues in access to justice. The audience will be invited to share and engage with our panel and other participants. We hope to develop agendas and build networks to advance access to justice in rural zones, internationally.
