On 29th October, the University of Bath’s Criminology Research Group held its first major event: a one-day symposium, titled ‘Justice beyond Criminal Justice’. Co-funded by the South West British Society of Criminology and the South West Doctoral Training Partnership, the in-person symposium drew 70 attendees from the UK and beyond, and incorporated four panel sessions, a keynote lecture, and an optional training session on creative methodologies. Several members of CDAS attended and delivered papers. Issues connected to death, criminal justice and forms of accountability emerged in a range of ways throughout the papers, including the ways in which injustice and a lack of accountability has produced death, with detail from Richard Moorhead’s plenary address on the Post Office Horizon scandal and the finding that 11 suicides were directly connected to the prosecutions brought by the Post Office. There was also a particular focus on the ways in which deaths are investigated as part of processes closely connected to criminal justice, with Sarah’s Moore’s argument for criminology to engage with these institutional processes, and Ed Kirton-Darling’s exploration of the inquest (and publicness in the inquest) as an illustration of such investigations. Finally, death, responsibility and accountability was unpicked in a series of other papers in different contexts, including in an exploration of the ways AI was trained and deployed by Omar Phoenix Khan, in the ways in which justice operated in the mountains of Crete by Leah Koumentaki, in an analysis of condemnation for deaths in Gaza and the Ukraine by Jane Ngan, and in the faking of deaths of children sold for adoption in Serbia in a paper by Paul Thornbury and Alexander Carswell.
