This symposium, organized jointly by the Prisons Research Centre and the Centre for Penal Theory and Ethics, aims to bring empirical research to bear on questions of punishment theory and practice. By organizing a series of presentations around the question of whether we punish too much, we hope to build an evidence-driven case against excess. We mark the appointment of our new Radzinowicz Fellow, Peter Dawson, former Governor and Director of the Prison Reform Trust, by drawing together an academic and practitioner audience. There will be five short presentations (15-18 minutes each), some responses, and a panel discussion at the end. We hope to explore a future research, publication and action agenda.
