We recently welcomed Year 10 students from Harvest Christian College to learn about crime and justice at The University of Adelaide and Adelaide University ⚖️

Dr Jared Dmello gave a lecture about criminology career pathways, from law and policing to research and international security.

The students then visited the Magistrates' Court, where they observed cases being presented before a judge.

“It was an inspiring and thought-provoking day that sparked plenty of discussion (and maybe a few budding lawyers or criminologists in the making!)” 🏫
