Criminology has had a home in Oxford for over fifty years and has thrived under the leadership of Professor Roger Hood since 1973, first as an independent unit within the University and, since 1991 as an integral department of the Faculty of Law. Professor Hood retired in September 2003 and Professor Loader took up the Directorship in 2005, establishing a year later the Annual Roger Hood Public Lecture Series.
 
This Annual Public Lecture, an important event in the calendar of the Centre for Criminology, honours and celebrates the long and distinguished career of Professor Hood and his particular contribution to Oxford Criminology. Past speakers have included Professor David Garland of New York University, Professor John Braithwaite of the Australian National University and Professor Nils Christie of the University of Oslo, among other distinguished academics.

This year, the lecture will take place on Thursday 23 May at the Manor Road Social Sciences Building Lecture Theatre at 17:00. For the first time, the Series honours the contribution to Oxford Criminology and Criminal Law of an Oxford academic, Professor Andrew Ashworth.

All are welcome but to book a place please RSVP to Tracy Kaye  (Tracy.kaye@crim.ox.ac.uk)
