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 key themes including vulnerability, mental health, terrorism, and the regulation of public space. Our research draws on doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical approaches to examine how justice is delivered, and denied, to different groups in various contexts.
