Centre for Criminology, Essex

Description

The Centre for Criminology at Essex has both produced and attracted some of the most influential criminologists of the past 50 years, and continues to push intellectual and policy boundaries, while training and supporting the next generation of criminologists for the future.

Research interests, projects and publications have been wide-ranging, from studies of the personal and the cultural, through the mapping of organised and corporate criminality, to investigations of state systems of support and intervention, surveillance and violence - all with a critical and sociological approach as the common core.

Centre 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.
