The Centre is home to a vibrant programme of inter-disciplinary research across questions of criminalisation, justice, punishment, security, and victimisation. We focus on these topics in many jurisdictions across the global north and global south. We treat criminology as a field of enquiry where questions of order, justice and control around the globe are brought into conversation with the larger concerns of the social sciences, and social and political theory, with such matters as decolonialism, gender, political economy, race, and the futures for a climate-changed planet.
We deliver high-quality graduate education in criminology to students from across the world, studying on both masters and doctoral programmes, and engage with policy-makers, practitioners, and civil society across a wide range of settings. Our community of staff, students and alumni look forward to sharing our work with you.
