Think you have an eye for detail and talent for deduction? Test your investigative abilities and challenge your assumptions on a night of intrigue and fun that will contribute to actual research on forensic psychology – the intersection of psychology and the law. Work with real police detectives, members of the national press, and experts in forensic psychology to scrutinise the evidence, identify suspects and catch the killer.
Join the investigation as either a ‘trainee cop’ or an ‘investigative reporter’ and see whether you have what it takes to solve the mystery of the death of Jane Doe. Arrive in character – further instructions following registration.
Drinks and refreshments will be served.
