Description
As The Open University celebrates its 50th anniversary, Paul Lawrence, Asa Briggs Professor of History, delivered his inaugural lecture on how a historical approach to criminal justice contributes ...to contemporary understandings of crime and justice. He explored, for example, whether we are more or less violent as a society than we were a century or two ago. He illustrated how an informed grasp of the past can help provide perspective in the present (demonstrating, for example, that things we might think of as new and modern, such as youth violence, are anything but). Watch the video of Professor Lawrence’s inaugural lecture.
