Focus on media's role in fight against crime

A PIONEERING anti-crime project which brings culprits and victims face-to-face is to host a conference examining the use of the media to promote its goals.

Community justice organisation Sacro has organised the event entitled Crime, Punishment and Media in Scotland: A Conversation. The aim is to promote better communication between the media, criminal justice practitioners and academics.

The event is to take place at the Balmoral Suite at the Royal Terrace Hotel in Edinburgh on May 15.
