PhD Criminology
Potential applicants should contact the School of Social Sciences before submitting a formal application. We encourage you to identify which members of the academic team that best match your research interests, and to contact potential supervisors with well thought out ideas about the research you would like to undertake. The profiles of our criminology staff can be found here .
The School has specialists in research clustered around five key themes : drugs - markets, policies and consumption; violence and the aftermath of violence; fraud, white collar and organised crime; social exclusion, insecurity and policing; and justice innovation and law reform.
The School welcomes applications that fit with the particular specialisms of our research staff. For example, we currently have grants in the areas of desistance, fraud, drugs, cryptomarkets, modern slavery, corruption, organised crime, policing and punishment, amongst others.
In addition, there is extensive expertise in a range of methodologies including biographical and narrative approaches to interviewing, ethnography, psychosocial case analysis, network analysis, deliberative methods, qualitative and quantitative longitudinal research, survey design and applied statistical analysis, programme evaluation, historical and policy analysis. You will therefore have access to cutting edge approaches to researching criminological issues.
