The Violence, Crime and Social Harm Research Centre, and the Centre for Crime Law and Society at the University of Bristol are delighted to welcome Professor Paddy Hillyard from Queen’s University of Belfast who will be discussing his new book 'Decades of Deceit: The Stalker Affair and its Legacy.’
This includes a forensic account of the Stalker inquiry into RUC shoot-to-kill operations in 1982. It questions the official narrative that there was no conspiracy to remove Stalker and details the efforts by his own police force to construct disciplinary charges. MI5's secret security strategy in Northern Ireland is central and remains so to this day.
This is a free event, but registration via Eventbrite is essential. This event will take place in the Wills Memorial Building at the University of Bristol.
