Experts taking part include a forensic scientist, a criminologist, a judge and Erwin James, a former prisoner who now writes for the Guardian. There will also be appearances by leading crime writers Anne Cleeve and Louise Welsh, and screenwriter Gaby Chiappe.
Crime Story will take place at Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne on 31 May and 1 June.
An early bird ticket costs £99.
