Sandra Walklate talks Victimology being the first woman in a department

We are so fortunate to have some brilliant Adjunct Professors in the School of Justice. Sandra Walklate is an absolute favourite of mine and I am so happy to be able to share our chat about Victimology. Sandra is a complete superstar and an academic pioneer. Sandra is also just a lovely human. Grab a cup of tea and settle in for this episode.
