About us
The Centre for Criminological Research is the focal point for criminology and criminal justice at the University of Sheffield, one of Britain's main research-led universities.
We are one of the four original criminological centres of excellence in the UK and recently celebrated our 30th anniversary. Reaching across the university to bring together experts from a wide-range of excellent departments, we form a multi-disciplinary Centre conducting high quality research on a variety of key criminological subjects.
Building on our international profile, the Centre encourages leading scholars from other countries to be visitors and welcomes postgraduate research students. A strong seminar series and conference programme is organised each year, creating a lively context to stimulate debate and to disseminate research findings to as wide an audience as possible.
