Crime and Justice Challenges for the Contemporary Military Symposium

The military holds a dominant place in societies around the globe. Militaries are simultaneously expressive of broader cultural mores and practices while also highly distinctive domains in their own right.

How do these social relations shape crime in, against, and by the military?

How does the military respond to criminal matters?

This symposium will bring together academics and practitioners to discuss the patterns and forms of crime in the military and in military operations. The focus is both on the international practices of war and peacekeeping and the domestic practices of defence forces. The aim of the symposium is to explore how the concepts, theories and methods of criminology might be usefully applied to enhance understanding and policy responses to a range of matters that potentially impact upon the reputation and operational effectiveness of armed forces.

Guest Speakers

Michael Dante Mori

Michael Dante Mori is a lawyer who attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps. Mori was the military lawyer for Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks

Stephen Mugford
