Pauline Rowson guest author at British Society Criminology Conference

On 5 July I was invited onto a panel at the British Society of Criminology Annual Conference at the University of Portsmouth, Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, (ICJS).

I appeared on the panel with fellow crime writers, Graham Hurley, Peter Lovesey, June Hampson and Linda Regan. 








Over 300 delegates from around the world attended the conference was which themed around ‘Criminology at the borders’ and coincided with the twentieth anniversary of ICJS.  I met some lovely people who bought my crime novels to take back to the States and Australia. The panel was introduced by Dr Diana Bretherick, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice of the University of Portsmouth.

The audience of academics and practitioners operating at the cutting edge of thinking on crime and justice asked us questions about our crime novels, including how we researched them, why we enjoyed reading and writing crime fiction, the writers who had influenced us and what made them choose the locations for our crime novels. It was great fun.
