Glasgow to host Gangs and Global Exchange event

The Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research (SCCJR) will be staging two one-day events focusing on ‘gangs and global exchange’ in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, on 2nd and 3rd December 2010.

Day One, Confronting the Glasgow Gang Complex, takes the issue of gangs in the so-called ‘violent city’ – Glasgow – as a starting point; seeking to interrogate representations, realities, and responses to gangs in both a local and global context.

Day Two, ‘Unlearning’? Violence, Gangs and Global Exchange in Cross Regional Dialogue’, seeks to initiate a critical dialogue between research on violence in Northern and Southern contexts – bringing together researchers in the fields of violence and crime from different disciplines and a range of geographical locations.

Bookings can be made for Day One by emailing [email protected] and Day Two by emailing [email protected].
