We have a strong national and international reputation in our main fields of Sociology, Criminology, Politics, and Development Studies. Our work is seen as intellectually ground-breaking in equality, criminality, race, sexuality, media and politics and international development. Our teaching focuses on current issues and our students are engaged with the urgent social and political challenges of today. Subjects include sustainability, war, green criminology, international politics, media and politics, and drugs. We are intellectually innovative and our academic and research activities help shape debates and contribute to the building of stronger, cleaner and fairer communities.
