Author Evening - Neville Higgison

Join us for an author talk with local writer Neville Higgison.

Neville joined the Police in 1968 and retired after 30 years' service. Most of his service was in CIB which is responsible for the investigation of crime from murder downwards. He was a member of the Christchurch Armed Offenders Squad for 14 years and after retiring from the Police he carted himself off to Canterbury University where he studied for and gained a law degree. After admission to the bar, he worked as a criminal defence lawyer for 6 years specialising also in employment law. He found himself on occasions acting in court for bods that he had been chasing around in his policing days before retiring again.

He has written a book "Ruff Justice' named in honour of a young murder victim. This book gives insight, not only into the hard graft of police work, but also into the justice system, its perceived failures and how it could be fixed.
