About the event
The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies will be hosting an seminar with Dr Baz Dreisinger of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. She is the author of Incarceration Nations: A Journey to Justice in Prisons Around the World (2016).

In this seminar, she will reflect on her experiences and how these have impacted on her understanding of imprisonment and how what she saw can help us to reimagine justice.
