Examining how and why certain behaviours and communities become subject to criminal law, this group investigates the processes and consequences of criminalisation. Our research spans criminal law, criminology, counter-terrorism, policing, and transitional justice, drawing on doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical approaches.
We explore how vulnerability, mental health, the regulation of public and private space, and responses to terrorism shape criminal justice systems, investigating how justice is delivered, and denied, to different groups in society. Key areas include vulnerability, mental health, terrorism, and the regulation of public space. The theme draws on doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical approaches to examine how justice is delivered, and denied, in varied contexts.
