SCCJR Working Lunches

19 Apr 2013

The Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research, in which Trafficking Culture is based, recommences its Working Lunch series of seminars next week. These are a regular opportunity, usually on Wednesdays between 12.30 and 2pm, at the Meeting Room, Ivy Lodge, 63 Gibson Street, Glasgow.

The Working Lunches offer an opportunity to hear about and discuss current criminological research from within SCCJR itself and from further afield. The next few Working Lunches are as follows:
