This year's theme
Are effective justice and the fairness of the criminal process always in tension? This year's Law on Trial will address this question, which has been brought into sharp focus by events such as G20 protests, and the riots of August 2011.
Sessions will consider tactics used in the policing of protest, including 'kettling', two sessions on the riots in the UK and gang culture, and the use of stop and search and anti-terrorism powers. We shall also examine punitive responses to HIV and AIDS.
