Last week QUT Centre for Justice member, Angela Higginson attended the Stockholm Criminology Symposium and was part of the opening discussion on Research Advises Policy. This was a moderated discussion between Dr Higginson, the Swedish Minister for Justice, and the winner of the 2023 Stockholm Prize in Criminology.
A big part of the discussion was advising the minister on evidence-based best practice to deal with rising youth violence. Angela advocated against Sweden losing the age of criminal responsibility.
