The Department

With a team of 19 teaching and research staff, the Department has an outstanding record for postgraduate and undergraduate teaching and engaging in research of international excellence. In addition to its undergraduate programmes, the Department also offers post graduate courses in Criminology and Criminological Psychology. The Department provides a vibrant research environment with particular strengths in the areas of Religion and Society, Crime and Social Justice, Power and In-Securities , and Media, Consumption and Gender. Staff in criminology draw on a range of inter-disciplinary areas to explore and drive forward critical understandings of crime and social justice. With expertise in the areas of: policing & securities; prisoner education and resettlement; cybercrime; gender and crime; welfare practices; sexual violence and victimisation; transphobic hate crime; religion, race and domestic abuse; and human rights and the law, our research aims to have real life impact for those who engage with the criminal justice system.

We offer an engaged teaching curriculum with a focus on the application of criminological knowledge and research methods in the criminal justice system and in the shaping of criminal justice policy. Gaining strong foundations in criminological theory, policy and practice, our students are informed by national and international perspectives in criminology. 

We are currently seeking to fill one post at a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level (depending on the candidate’s current stage of career) to contribute to the teaching in one or more of the following areas: Critical Criminology; Criminal Justice; Policing and Punishment; Youth, Crime & Justice; or Quantitative Research Methods.
