The British Journal of Criminology was proud to host its inaugural Annual Lecture, bringing together leading scholars to engage with cutting-edge research in criminology.
This year’s lecture was delivered by Professor Robert Sampson of Harvard University, who discussed themes from his latest book, Marked by Time: Confronting the Challenge of Social Change in Crime and Punishment.
The lecture explored the dynamics of social change in crime and punishment, examining how long-term social processes shape patterns of crime, justice, and inequality. It was a thought-provoking session for academics, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between society and criminal justice.
