Time: 10.00 – 18.00

Throughout the day, academic researchers and
professional practitioners will describe and analyse
the journeys women take as they engage with the
criminal justice system - from the point of being
at risk of becoming a victim or offender, through
experiences of trial, diversion and being inside and
outside of prison - using a range of statistical and
qualitative evidence.

Betsy Stanko OBE (Head of Evidence and
Insight at the Mayor’s Office for Policing and
Crime) – Women’s recorded rape allegations
by police: what is useful about ‘knowing your
business’?
Jenny Earle (Programme Director, Reducing
women’s imprisonment, Prison Reform Trust)
– Why focus on women’s imprisonment?

The event brings together the latest academic
and policy analysis to key issues concerning
women and the criminal justice system, aiming to
inform practice, stimulate academic-professional
partnerships and provide an opportunity for
networking.
The conference is organised by the Centre for
Criminology, Department of Sociology, and School
of law at the University of Essex with the Royal
Statistical Society, co-sponsored by ESRC and
Palgrave Macmillan.
