Call for Abstracts: Crime, Justice and Social Democracy 5th Biennial International Conference 2019
The 5th biennial international conference hosted by the Crime, Justice and Social Democracy Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology is being held 15-17 July 2019.
This conference seeks to further build on and innovate in new and imaginative areas of criminological thought. This conference creates a globally connected space to enhance the dialogue between scholars and practitioners from the Global South and the Global North. The conference especially welcomes scholars from the global north – as a critical aim of the conference is to link northern and southern scholars in a collective project that will radically transnationalise the discipline into the future.
The conference is being convened at Broadbeach, a picturesque part of the Gold Coast in the south east corridor of Queensland, Australia. It has an international airport and is within close proximity to Asia and other parts of the Global South, as well as the beautiful beaches of the Gold Coast and its adjacent hinterland with rich and rare biodiversity.
Further information about the conference, including information on how to submit abstracts, can be found on the conference website

Seminar: Critical skills for critical minds: recognizing evidence manipulation in death investigations
CJRC member, Dr Claire Ferguson, recently spoke at an Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers seminar at QPS Headquarters on the topic of “Critical skills for critical minds: recognizing evidence manipulation in death investigations”. This event was held at Queensland Police Headquarters.
Claire spoke about key critical thinking skills in the context of death investigation examples, including the important Leahy/Arnold double murder case in North Queensland.
Claire used this and other examples to examine offenders and scenes that successfully fooled investigators and how and why the critical thinking process failed. Common problems such as bias, observer effects, metacognitive errors and logical mistakes were considered and discussed with a view to demonstrating the critical thinking skills required for successful investigations and intelligence gathering.
This event was the largest turnout AIPIO have ever had, with 80 guests in attendance.
