Cardiff Centre for Crime, Law and Justice

Description

Cardiff Centre for Crime, Law and Justice is a joint venture drawing together colleagues from the School of Social Sciences (mainly those with an interest in criminology) and the School of Law and Politics (mainly those with an interest in criminal justice and security studies). The Centre has an established international reputation for theoretically informed, policy focused, methodologically rigorous interdisciplinary research.

The Centre holds regular workshops, seminars and feedback groups throughout the academic year. In addition, it has a broad research programme, with members actively exploring a range of topics around the relations between crime, security and justice.

Key areas of research interest include:

• urban security and community safety
• sexual and domestic violence and hate crime
• corporate and white-collar crime
• organised crime and terrorism
• criminal law and criminal justice process
• youth justice
• policing
• night-time economy
• drug policy
• life-course criminology and desistance
• prisoner resettlement and offender management
• emergent technologies and crime including cyber crime.

The Centre has established links at the local, national and international level. Early projects are exploring the development of local victim surveys as well as research on sexual health, the nighttime economy, and issues around migration, immigration and asylum.
