Criminology PhD

University of Brighton

In studying for a PhD in Criminology at the University of Brighton, you will enter an academic community that addresses challenges within the criminal justice system and beyond, considering social, health, psychological, spatial, and environmental injustice, seeking to transform policy and practice on global and more local scales. We supervise critical approaches to the traditional concerns of criminology and criminal justice with research interests in the justice system, social control, surveillance and security, violence and abuse, politicised criminalisation as well as forms of deviance, protest and resistance. The University of Brighton’s strengths in co-productive research methods, applied and impactful research and its cross-disciplinary frameworks allow for Criminology PhD students to make academic contacts from researchers across a wide range of methodologies, for example through membership of our Law, Society and Justice Research Excellence Group.
