Tenth Biennal John Jay College of Criminal Justice International Conference: Global Perspectives on Justice, Security and Human Rights
Tenth Biennal John Jay College of Criminal Justice International Conference: Global Perspectives on Justice, Security and Human Rights
About the Conference
Throughout the world, societies are facing dramatic and rapid change--demographically, socially, technologically, politically and economically. These changes are often accompanied by transformations in justice policy and practice. Protecting the freedom and liberty of citizens, ensuring justice, and maintaining public safety can create practical, ideological and social tensions both within and between nations. International, comparative and multi-cultural perspectives are needed to address many of today's pressing world issues, from human rights abuses, to trasnational crime, and ethnic conflicts.
The forces of driving social change in this century affect all countries. When crime has no national borders, international cooperation seems a rational response--a move which is welcomed by many governments. At the same time, embracing international identities and cooperation to combat crime or to further social justice can conflict with local governmental policies and practices of with local social norms. We are soliciting proposals refleting scholarly work that correspond with these themes, to be included in the conference presentations, panels, and posters.
Papers submitted may address a broad range of issues including, but not limited to:
-Assessment and Treatment of Mental Illness in Jails and Prisons
-Comparative Justice Perspectives
-Capital Punishment
-Crime Prevention and Control
-Culture, Religion, Ideology and Social Justice
-Emerging Justice Issues and Security Responses
-Forensic Science and Security
-Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice
-Human Trafficking
-Interrogation Techniques
-International Human Rights and Mental Disability Law
-Juvenile Justice Issues
-Literary Portrayels of Justice, Security and Human Rights
-Media and Culture
-Migration Studies and Globalization
-Psychological Interventions for Victims of Political Torture
-Psychology and Law
-Political Violence and Social Movements
-Race, Ethnicity and Justice
-Theoretical and Philosophical Perspectives on Justice and Human Rights
-Restorative Justice
Currently, they are seeking submission of papers, panel sessions and posters for the conference, with abstracts due on the revised date on January 27th, 2012.
