              Investigate one of the most popular undergraduate courses and add context to
              your A-level studies with an interactive day of learning.

              The Criminology Student Conference is back for its 8th year! After hosting over 2,000
              students in 2018, we've packed this year with leading experts and real-world insights
              into criminal investigations, the criminal justice system and discrimination.

              Hear from our academic experts...

              Dr Zoe Walkington: The Psychology of lie detection
              Take a look at the criminal investigations and the pressures and issues affecting both
              suspects and police investigators. Consider some of the key areas where psychologists
              have studied investigative processes; students will 'have a go' at certain elements of an
              investigation, for example, finding out how good they are at detecting deception in
              others.

              Dr Irene Zempi: Hate crime in the cyber world
              We live in a climate of hate, both in the physical world and the cyber world. The internet,
              and specifically, social media companies including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, have
              created new platforms for abuse. Following events including the Brexit vote, the murder of
              MP Jo Cox, the Manchester/London terrorist attacks, there has been a significant increase in
              hate speech online. In this talk, Irene will discuss the nature and scope of the problem, as
              well as the implications of cyber hate crime for victims, their families and wider
              communities.

Dr Lyndsey Harris: Domestic violence & abuse and the Criminal
                   Justice Process
Address the key components of the A-level specifications relating to crime, deviance, social
order and social control by examining the experience of victims/survivors of domestic
violence and abuse. The criminal justice process and the role of a number of key criminal
justice agencies including the Police, CPR and Courts. The barriers to services for victims
and access to justice, drawing upon key literature in criminology and victimology.

              A great experience for the students and
              an excellent introduction to the study of
                             criminology

          ...And those who have experienced life behind bars

                   'Mafia Princess' Marisa Merico
                   Born to an english mother who had run away to Italy and married Emilio
                   Di Giovine, the Mafia Godfather of one of Italy's most feared families.
                   When she got in too deep in the family's operations she fled back home
                   to Blackpool, telling her daughter her father was a good-for-nothing
                   petty thief.

Marisa's father was determined to get her back, and when she returned to Italy she fell in
love with her father's chief henchman and eloped with him.
Soon, she was neck-deep in the family's terrifying operations with no way to escape. Then,
suddenly, an auntie turned supergrass and Marisa, her father and 90 other members of the
Di Giovine family were imprisoned in a 6-month trial that gripped Italy.

                                            Noel 'The Razor' Smith
Noel is a convicted bank robber who has spent the greater portion of his
adult life in prison. Smith served a life sentence for armed robbery. Whilst
in prison he taught himself to read and write, gained an Honours Diploma
from the London School of Journalism nad an A-level in Law. He has been
awarded a number of Koestler awards for his writing and has contributed
