Photographs from Pauline Rowson's Panel Appearance at the British Criminology Conference 2012
Had a great time as one of the guest crime authors at the annual
conference of the British Society of Criminology at the University of
Portsmouth, Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, (ICJS) on 5 July 2012.
I appeared on the panel with fellow crime
writers, Graham Hurley, Peter Lovesey, June Hampson and Linda Regan. Here we are getting ready before the event started.
Over 300 delegates from around the world attended the conference
was which themed around ‘Criminology at the borders’ and coincided with the
twentieth anniversary of ICJS. I met some lovely people who even bought my crime novels to take back to the States and Australia.
The panel was introduced by Dr Diana Bretherick, Senior
Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice of the University of Portsmouth.

The audience of academics and practitioners operating at the cutting edge of
thinking on crime and justice asked the crime writers questions about their
crime novels, including how they researched them, why they enjoyed reading and
writing crime fiction, the writers who had influenced them and what made them choose
the locations for their crime novels.
