We’ll be exploring the "Halo Effect" from a criminal justice perspective, looking at how charm and charisma can distort public and institutional views of guilt, while examining the ethical implications of the true crime genre with sensitive consideration for real victims and survivors.

📍 Wrexham Campus | Room B09
