Crime, Justice and the Human Condition:
Beyond the cris(es) – reframing and reimagining justice

13–14 September 2022
Keble College, University of Oxford

The last two years have brought the fragility of human existence into sharp relief. This conference and accompanying festival for change is happening as we emerge from a time of intense uncertainty. Governments, civil society and communities face formidable problems and difficult choices that could have enduring repercussions for justice. This conference will provide an opportunity to reimagine how the penal system should work.
