Law School Research Seminar - Friday 31 January 2025
Guest Speaker: Christopher Brian
Title: 'Spycops, Subversion & Collateral Intrusion'
Abstract: Between 1968 and 2010 hundreds of groups and thousands of individuals on the left of the political spectrum were targeted by intrusive police surveillance in what has become known as the Spycops scandal. The author's organisation, the Undercover Research Group, at first concentratedon supporting those activists most effected by the surveillance – and worked piecing together the fragmentary and limited evidence that was in the public domain before the Undercover Policing Inquiry began. Now, with thousands of documents and hundreds of hours of testimony available, they work to assist activists in the inquiry, by collating and summarising this huge and unprecedented release of information detailing the workings of the secret state. Chris will give an overview of this work, which raises questions around privacy and the proper limits of police surveillance – as well as the potential research questions posed by this evidence.
