This event marks the first of its kind in Brunei Darussalam, featuring esteemed Adjunct Professor Datuk Dr. Zafari bin Zulkifli from Universiti Putra Malaysia, who shared his insights based on extensive research on Low Self-Control (LSC) theory. The discourse delved into the factors contributing to criminal behaviour, drawing from studies of incarcerated individuals and linking these findings to broader societal implications.
