Centre for Education and Criminal Justice

A knowledge hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate and deliver best practice and evidence in education and criminal justice.

Our centre has an exclusive focus on education and the criminal justice system.
We engage with: 
  • Education in a broad sense – formal, informal and non-formal education, training and learning   
  • The life course as a whole – a developmental approach to understanding the relationship between education, offending and desistance  
  • Rights and justice – the rights of prisoners as citizens and learners entitled to high-quality and diverse learning opportunities.
Teaching

We are a teaching hub for undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in education within the criminal justice system. For undergraduate students we offer a module introduction to Criminal Journeys, exploring views on what constitutes crime, how people become involved in the criminal justice system and what that involvement looks like.

Hear from our students!
