The conference was the first in a series of events to be co-sponsored by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research and the department of History at the University of Dundee. The series is intended to provide a unique forum for historians and other academics to engage with crime and policing professionals, with the aim of sharing and enhancing mutual knowledge and research agendas.
