Each autumn we hold a conference where we bring together criminal justice, health service and third sector professionals with academic criminologists and psychologists. We believe that forging strong links between practitioners and academics is vital in order to improve strategies for protecting stalking victims and managing perpetrators.
Our two-day conferences are held at College Court conference centre, University of Leicester, and also on-line. For those attending in person there is plenty of time for informal interaction, including at the conference dinner on the first evening. Overnight accommodation is available on site.
See here for more about last year’s conference, where we launched the Alice Ruggles Trust awards.
The theme this year will be
Smoothing the journey
At every stage in a stalking victim’s journey there is potential to improve how we support and protect victims themselves and for more effective interventions with perpetrators. In this year’s conference we will share best practice at every stage in this process from the early development of stalking behaviours through to the most serious cases.
