Detective Chief Superintendent John CARNOCHAN QPM
Head of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit
John's lecture "The Shared Agenda" will look
at how violence infects the well being and health of communities throughout the world, the
daily stress and fear experienced by individuals and families inhibits lives and
aspirations. Violence is preventable, but criminal justice solutions alone cannot achieve
this. Violence is situated within a complicated and complex landscape of causes, societal
conditions, personal circumstances, individual characteristics, attitudes and cultures.
The principal of prevention is gaining increasing currency and the application of the
public health model provides a framework to understanding and identifying effective
solutions.
His lecture will take place on 21 October
