Professor Ian Loader on BBC Oxford

Ian Loader, Professor of Criminology and Professorial Fellow at All Souls College, was interviewed on BBC Oxford this week as part of their ‘Oxpert’ series, talking about criminology and his research at Oxford (find him at 2hr 45mins).

Professor Loader discussed his academic career path from an undergraduate law degree to a PhD in criminology, myth-busting conceptions about the subject and highlighting its intersections with history and politics. Professor Loader explained how his fascination with studying crime lies in how it can offer a 'window on the world', also giving advice to students who might be interested in studying criminology at university.
