Long-Run Perspectives on Crime and Conflict
A Workshop Sponsored by the Economic History Society
Friday 12 September & Saturday 13 September 2014
This workshop will be held at HM Prison Crumlin Road, a Victorian-era prison that has been out of service since 1996. Popularly known as the Crum, the gaol has housed prisoners including Eamon De Valera, Ian Paisley, Martin McGuinness and Bobby Sands. Today it is a museum and conference venue.
The workshop is partly designed to spearhead opportunities for economists and social science historians of crime and conflict to network and collaborate on future research. By adopting a long-run approach to the study of crime and conflict, we aim to understand how policy choices made in very different times and places can influence economic outcomes today, and thus hope to inform policy decisions taken in the future.
