Welcome to the Centre for Criminology 

The Centre is home to a vibrant programme of inter-disciplinary research across questions of criminalisation, security, criminal justice and punishment. Our research focuses on these topics internationally and in many jurisdictions across the global north and global south.  

 We engage with policy-makers, practitioners and civil society across these settings with a view to producing criminological research that contributes to a better politics of order, crime and justice.  

 We deliver high-quality graduate education in criminology to students from across the world, studying on both masters and doctoral programmes. Our degrees are open to full-time and part-time students.
