Welcome to the Centre for Criminology page. This page aims to share and exchange research and teaching undertaken at the Centre within academia and beyond. It particularly targets our partner organisations and our vibrant student community. The Centre is dedicated to pursuing an innovative programme of criminological research and to delivering high-quality graduate education in criminolog
y at both masters and doctoral level. The Centre for Criminology has a vibrant programme of research. It pursues a research strategy aimed principally at fostering and developing clusters of research activity around six substantive themes.These are: Security, rights and justice; Penal culture, policy and practice; Politics, legitimacy and criminal justice; Crime and the family; Victims; and Criminal Justice, Citizenship and Migration. Its members are committed to connecting criminological work to the broader concerns of the social sciences; to thinking comparatively about crime and punishment; to bringing together sociological and normative approaches to the analysis of crime and justice; and to working at the intersections between criminology and public policy.
