David Farrington was a towering figure in our field and a wonderful academic, colleague, and friend to many.
We invite you to celebrate David’s scholarly contributions and to discuss extensions and innovations based on his ideas amongst some of his closest colleagues. Panel members, speakers and delegates include scholars who collaborated with David, Institute of Criminology alumni supervised by David, plus current academics and students involved in the field of criminology.
Recognising David’s collaborative and inclusive approach, we will have four thematic panels reflecting areas where David has made pathbreaking contributions, namely:
- Advancing the Scientific Bases for Criminology
- Pushing the Boundaries of Knowledge on Human Development and Crime
- Generating Knowledge for Prevention and Intervention
- Globalising Criminology
We are expecting members of David's family to attend and his daughter Alice will speak during the introduction. The day will end with thoughts from four senior academics and discuss ideas for mentoring and collaboration to take forward David's extraordinary work.
Please note that this Symposium will be recorded.
