Research in the Department of Criminology, Politics and Sociology

Welcome to the Department for Criminology, Politics and Sociology research hub. We offer considerable expertise in a range of interdisciplinary subjects while our dedicated Centre for Research in Communities, Identities and Difference (CResCID) offers innovative responses to contemporary social problems.

Our departmental research expertise is organised into these different research areas:

• Crime and social justice
• Gender and consumption
• Human animal studies
• Power and in/securities
• Religion, public institutions and culture
• Human rights, society and justice

Research areas contribute to the Department's research culture and scholarship. They also enable social enterprise and impact activities.

All staff in the department are research-active through grant awards, collaborations and publications. Our research-active environment informs study and programmes for undergraduates and postgraduates. We share our research through academic, media and public events.
