Major CIA and Met Police Conference in London Now..

Have a gander | 18.06.2002 11:53

Global justice, cyber crime and public private partnerships (no-holds-barred privatisation) will be some of the issues under debate at the Modernising Criminal Justice - New World Challenges Conference taking place at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London from June 18 -20.

Over 500 leading academics, politicians and senior decision-makers from throughout the criminal justice field will join representatives from the private sector to share tips on profit maximisation practice and identify solutions to crime at a global as well as national level.

CONFERENCE AGENDA

Note: This has already started but it's still, worth having a look at the policy interaction and intelligence sharing between agencies and government bodies, plus the companies which look set to enter into private deals with the UK police and immigration services (Final day, Thursday). David Blunkett is the Senior Government minister speaking on Thursday morning)

It's probably too short notice to arrange any kind of action but the information is still important for future reference, research and resistance furtherance! (I think i made up that last word)

Tuesday 18 June 2002


Delivering A Vision For The Future



Globally there are many examples of success and failure as criminal justice seeks to interface with society.



Success however can mean different things to different people so in the context of criminal justice what does success look like?



With the need for much greater mutual co-operation and communication both, globally and nationally is the reality of a more joined-up approach to justice achievable?



Through a mixture of plenary sessions, strategic debates and panel discussions the conference will seek to identify areas of good practice and endeavour to formulate a realistic vision for the future.

Tools For The Job



Rapid advancements in modern technology and the increase in private sector involvement in the way in which we approach criminal justice means that changes in the way systems operate are inevitable.



However, where will these changes have taken us in the next 5-10 years and how can the possible financial implications of such change be met?



Will 'E-justice' really help to reduce crime and the fear of crime or assist in dispensing justice fairly, swiftly and efficiently?



With a mixture of plenary sessions, strategic debates and panel discussions, the conference will examine how the available tools can be best used to benefit our criminal justice systems. The conference will also explore more imaginative methods of funding.
