Dear Passengers of Law and Cinema,
We are so happy to accomplish the III. International Crime and Punishment Film Festival which brings together the world of academia and cinema with the ideal of having justice for everyone and building a more just world. This year academics, NGO representatives, public officials and participants from the world of cinema will talk on Juvenile Justice. While addressing the legal and socio-economic aspects of the main theme, we will also try to understand the problem and find solutions from the perspective of cinema, being a true reflection of society.
During the third year of our Festival, we wanted to address a critical and contemporary issue facing our country and the world. Therefore the main theme of our Festival was determined as -Juvenile Justice- covering wide range of issues including the causes of juvenile delinquency, implementation of judiciary measures as well as problems associated with the protective systems of juveniles.
As in last year, our talks and discussions will be addressing the socio-economic and economic aspects of the main theme. We will try to understand the problems of child delinquency and juvenile justice and find solutions from the perspective of law and cinema. Within the academic program which will last for five days, academics, NGO representatives, activists, writers, cinema artists and press members will have the opportunity to express their ideas.
We are in the opinion that, to detect the problems and find solutions whether in the legalpracticing manner can be possible by comparing this with the other countries. For this reason, I would like to thank those who come from other countries and from Turkey to present and those who translated these presentations into Turkish and those who contributed to publication.
Best regards,
