Insight Conferences have announced details of their forthcoming Exploring Crime Conference at the University of Leicester on 10 – 11 July 2008.

Areas covered include:
Death Row – Hear from a death row prisoner who was exonerated after 8,057 days. He was the first death row prisoner to use DNA science to prove his innocence. Hear his story ……
Psychopaths – Nature v Nurture – The concept of the psychopath (or more currently dangerous severe personality disorder) is central to many arguments on the nature and nurture of homicide and particularly serial homicide. These issues will all be explored with their relevance to the study of psychology in mind and illustrated by reference to case examples.
