The Centre for Human Rights in Practice is happy to present two Criminal Justice Centre events at Warwick University:

Monday 6th March (4.30-6.30pm – Warwick University, Oculus OC1.09) – Public Lecture by Dame Anne Owers, IPCC chair ‘Guarding the Guards’: Dame Anne Owers draws on her own experiences of inspecting prisons and investigating the police. She explores why it is necessary to ‘guard the guards’ both for legal and public confidence reasons and also for what it can achieve. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/research/centres/cjc/events/?calendarItem=094d43f55a2e8257015a3bfbaef402a4

Wednesday 8th March (3.30-6pm – Warwick Arts Centre, Woods-Scawen room) – ‘Gender, Harm and Suicides in Prison’ Our prisons are in crisis with insufficient funding and staff, and prisoner safety is at risk. This Criminal Justice Centre event brings together academics, policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders, to consider ways of reducing the risks of harm and suicide for women in prison, and improving the wellbeing of prisoners. Short presentations from the speakers will be followed by questions and discussion, and a wine reception at 6pm. - http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/research/centres/cjc/events/?calendarItem=094d43f559f96d58015a2266ac397c82
