| Time: 1:00PM to 2:30 PM on Friday, November 21 | |||
| Place: Governors Square 15 | |||
| Session Chair: Jonathan C. Odo, University of Maryland Eastern Shore | |||
| The purpose of this roundtable is to facilitate a discussion on afro-optimism and afrenaissance concerning criminology, democracy, and justice in post-colonial Africa. Presenters will focus on issues that crystallize Black Africa's successes since political independence. Concerns include policing and human rights; the democratic model of policing; police, corrections, and judicial transitions; lessons of democratic policing from the United States; institutional violence; and legal issues in criminal justice. Our goal is to examine these issues and recognize Africa's positives and to make them a part of the general academic and criminological discourses. | |||
