International conference continues in Douglas

by isleofman.com 2nd April 2009

It's day two of the International Criminal Justice conference at the Villa Marina in Douglas.

Delegates are looking at the misuse of substances and ways of reducing crime and reoffending.

A number of internationally renowned speakers are talking at the event today, including the managing director of the Swedish Council for Information, Alcohol and other Drugs, Bjorn Hibell, who is delivering a presentation on young people, alcohol and drugs in Europe.

It follows the release of a major report by the European School Survey Project which, among other things, highlighted the seriousness of the binge drinking culture in the Isle of Man.

There will also be a talk by Thoroddur Bjarnason, a Professor of Sociology at a university in Iceland, who will be discussing adolescent substance use in island communities.
