The Howard League for Penal Reform in Scotland

The Drummond Hunter Memorial Lecture

 

This annual lecture was instituted in 2002 following the death in April of that year of T Drummond Hunter at the age of 83.  Drummond had been associated with the work of the League in Scotland for very many years and the League decided to institute this annual lecture series as a fitting tribute to the enormous contribution he had made to the work of the League and to the foundation of the Scottish Consortium on Crime and Criminal Justice.

The 2004 lecture was given by Baroness Vivien Stern on 6th January in the Playfair Library, Edinburgh University.  Baroness Stern chose as her subject 'International Perspectives on Criminal Justice: Scotland - An Opportunity for Change'

In 2005 the lecture 'A Hellhole of Unlawfulness' *will be given on 26th January by human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith. You can find further details about this on the lecture series page  

To read more about the life and work of Drummond Hunter read the obituary written by his grandson Richard Moore.
