This is the first Australasian Critical Criminology conference. It provides a forum for criminologists who analyse the sociological and ideological functions of the criminal justice system. In particular, it aims to bring together academics, researchers, teachers and students to consider new directions in teaching Critical Criminology.

The conference draws on recent research in a broad range of theoretical and applied criminologies. It delves into basic concepts of critical criminology that displace orthodox approaches to crime and its methodologies and crime and notions of harm, morality and psychology. It presents work on state crime and issues of torture, genocide and refugees. It covers law and order ideologies as they relate to policing and imprisonment and engages alternative approaches to restorative justice in the domestic and the international criminal justice contexts.

Internationally renowned criminologists will present papers that highlight the role of research-led teaching. It will draw on current issues and dynamic case studies that cross a broad range of criminology courses in Australasia.

The registration fee for the Conference is:
• academics and general public: $150.00 or early bird rate of $120.00 before 8 June 2007
