The Faculty for Social Wellbeing is organising a public lecture in in remembrance of Dr Jacqueline Azzopardi.
The public lecture entitled 'Criminal Domains and New Societies' will be delivered by Prof. Saviour Formosa Head, Department of Criminology.
Abstract
Society is rapidly changing. The transition from the physical to the virtual to the augmental and to the mixed realities is morphing our perspectives on crime and the opportunities they offer towards an understanding of the worlds within which we will interact and seek the mitigation of potential criminal activity.
The Department of Criminology through its new spatial forensics research work is actively involved in the creation of new structures that will help us to delve into these worlds and research crime before it has been envisaged. The foresight approach is actively sought as a means to highlight to the institutions the potential linkages between society, land-use and crime. Spatial forensics has been brought into the crime scene though the use of spatial information systems, 3D visualisation and virtualisation, where the police and the courts can view and interact with the crime scene is a realistic and interactive manner.
The public lecture entitled 'Criminal Domains and New Societies' will be delivered by Prof. Saviour Formosa Head, Department of Criminology.
Date: Monday 6 November
Time: 09:00
Venue: Room 164 Gateway Building (GW164) University of Malta, Msida Campus
