Our projects
The Centre for Criminology has pioneered projects at the leading edge of the field – whether examining support for families interacting with the criminal justice system or the state of the planet and environmental harms. Contributing to public debate, policy evidence and scholarly discussion is what we do and our research has been making its impact on society ever since Stan Cohen wrote about ‘Folk Devils and Moral Panics’.

Our members are at the forefront of criminological research
With their research and expertise, our members cover a wide range of topics within criminology. These include: crime and the media; organised crime; urban disorder and social control; racism, victims and victimology; sexual labour, regulation and human rights; drug use and markets; women, crime and criminal justice; security; surveillance; green criminology and crimes against the environment; terrorism and counter-terrorism; policing, prisons, punishment and the criminal justice system.
The breath and variety of our interests ensure our work crosses disciplinary boundaries as we draw upon sociology, history, law, urban and rural studies, anthropology, art and film studies, political science and much more.
