Centre for Education and Criminal Justice
This seminar will explore the causes and consequences of sexual violence and domestic abuse on young people, specifically in regards to gender-based mental health deficits.
The speakers will also explore avenues of prevention and early-intervention through education and creative arts-based activity.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in mental health, the impact of sexual violence, early intervention, prevention and arts-based reform.
'Blue-Sky Thinking' Seminar Series on Education and Criminal Justice
The series aims to re-establish the Centre for Education and Criminal Justice as the knowledge exchange hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate on collecting, improving, and disseminating the best and most promising evidence and practice in the field and internationally. It gives researchers and practitioners a space to discuss the 'blue-sky thinking' in education and criminal justice that is much needed in the current system.
