University hosts national Serious and Organised Crime conference

Description

The University of Huddersfield, in partnership with the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the Home Office, has hosted the third Annual Serious and Organised Crime (SOC) Local Conference, one of the largest national events of its kind.

Bringing together over 300 senior leaders, practitioners and partners from across policing, government, and the wider criminal justice system, the conference continues to grow in scale and significance, reflecting the complexity and national importance of tackling serious and organised crime.

Professor John Synnott, Director of the Research Centre for Defence, Security and Leadership at the University of Huddersfield, said: “It is a real honour to host this event for a second year. The clear alignment between national priorities and the areas we are actively researching at Huddersfield really stood out, particularly the  emerging work on sadistic online exploitation, which is rapidly becoming a critical focus for policing and partners.”
