The UK faces a nationwide surge in shoplifting. How can we critically think about this topic?
Wednesday 20th November, 9:30am - 12pm
Join us in this thought-provoking debate where we will explore the current issues and concerns surrounding “shoplifting” from two distinct perspectives: criminologists and policing.
Through a criminological lens, we will delve into the social structures and inequalities that serve as triggers for shoplifting. From a police standpoint, we will assess police responses, their effectiveness, and the penalties imposed.
The session aims to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues related to shoplifting. By considering the question, “Is shoplifting primarily a societal issue or driven by organised crime?”, students will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights to address these challenges.
Join us in shedding light on this critical topic and look at making informed decisions in the ever-evolving field of criminology and policing.
This event is for Year 12 and Year 13 students or anyone considering studying Criminology or Professional Policing at university level.
We are accepting both group bookings from teachers as well as individual bookings from students/enquirers.
