Last week, Dr Lauren Smith presented a paper on The Lived Experiences of Gambling and Crime at The British Society of Criminology conference at The University of Surrey. Attendance at the conference was funded by The Howard League for Penal Reform.

Also, Lauren was recently invited to do a short, pre-recorded talk for the recent Regional Inequality Commission workshop, hosted by Liz Shutt, University of Lincoln’s Director of Policy, which brought together local stakeholders to discuss the University’s role in reducing inequality. The talk was a summary of the collaborative projects arising from the Lincolnshire Reducing Offending Core Priority group.
