Newcastle Business School - Northumbria University.
The Search for Crime-Money - Debunking the Myth: Facts versus Imagery
Monday 21st July, 2008
Northumbria University, City Campus East
The seminar will take place on the ground floor of the University of Northumbria's City Campus East Building.
This one day event brings together those with different socio-economic perspectives on crime; aiming to challenge the status quo and to provide the foundations for a realistic assessment of the overall impact and potential threat. Speakers have been drawn from a range of backgrounds including academics, law enforcement and those working within the finance sector. However, an important part of the day is to provide a forum in which the different groups of speakers and participants can share and challenge information and ideas. In addition to the formal presentations, therefore, the afternoon will include participant and delegate discussion
