Public Lecture with Professor of Criminology, Rob White

This public lecture is free and open to the wider community as well as students and staff.

In this lecture, Professor Rob White discusses the idea of rural folk crime – activities that may be criminal or regulatory offenses in a formal legal sense, but because they are rooted in tradition, survival and community may not be perceived as such by locals. He will explore why and how ‘everybody does it’, revealing unique social dynamics and cultural influences that shape justice beyond the city limits.
