Critical Criminology and Social Justice Research Group

Description

Informed by a dynamic and thriving research environment, the members' scholarship looks to critically interrogate conventional understandings of crime, deviance, and the social, economic and political influences upon processes of criminalisation and victimisation. The group’s research and activities span a diverse range of areas including gender, race and class inequalities; social exclusion and marginalisation; secondary victimisation and co-victims; technology-enhanced abuse; active citizenship and identity; prison education; social harm and social justice; policing and regulation; and crimes against the environment.

The group's members are trained in methodological innovation, with a particular strength in qualitative mixed-methods, participatory action research, visual methods, biography, life-story and narrative research, and ethnography.
