Seeking Security: Pre-empting the Commission of Criminal Harms
a conference organised by the UCL Centre for Criminal Law
2nd & 3rd September 2010
9am - 6pm (day one) & 9.30 - 4.30pm (day two)
at the UCL Faculty of Laws
About this conference:
The papers presented at this conference will analyse the issues of principle and policy that are raised by the increasing use of state resources to prevent the commission of criminal acts that may be committed at some future and uncertain point in time. Critical examinations will be made of the extensive use of covert surveillance, of coercive interventions under the criminal and civil law at points well in advance of any realised harm, and the use of imprisonment not as punishment for harms done but to prevent harms that might be done.The aim of the conference is to inform criminal law/ justice policy makers and scholars of the nature and extent of these preventative measures. The objective will to increase the capacity of these communities to make informed assessments of the efficacy of these measures and their ethical and policy implications. This objective will be assisted by the undertaking of a leading legal publisher to publish a monograph based on the conference papers.
The Participants include:
- Lawrence Alexander (San Deigo)
- Ian Dennis (UCL)
- Anthony Duff (Stirling)
- Jeremy Horder (Law Commission)
