Join criminology academics Jodie Weatherston and Sarah Connelly for an immersive campus event built around the opening episode of *When They See Us*. The session uses film as a starting point for discussion, helping participants explore how real-life injustice can be examined through a criminological lens.
The event focuses on one of the most significant wrongful conviction cases of modern times and its relevance to modern criminology. Attendees will take part in a screening experience in the university cinema and a workshop covering issues such as failures in the criminal justice system, racism, and vulnerability.
It also offers an introduction to studying BSc (Hons) Criminology at the University of Sunderland, making it especially relevant for students considering the subject at degree level. The event is aimed at anyone interested in criminology, with group bookings welcomed from school and college Year 12 and Year 13 students.
