To celebrate Simon Fraser University’s 50th anniversary, SFU’s School of Criminology is pleased to present a one-day Symposium on Wrongful Convictions and Criminal Investigative Failures on Friday, April 22, 2016 at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, Vancouver, BC.
Online registration is required for the symposium. The registration rate is $150 per person (includes buffet lunch).
The symposium will try to answer three central questions:
- How and why do criminal investigative failures and wrongful convictions occur?
- How can we best prevent them?
- What are the best remedies – the best mechanisms for responding to the possibility of error?
The symposium will bring together professionals from the courts, the legal profession, law enforcement and academia, along with two voices of the wrongfully convicted, for an engaging discussion on an issue that continues to have global importance for criminal justice practices.
