About Criminology at Glasgow

Our research seeks to expose, understand and challenge multiple forms of violence – including forms of violence which are environmental, structural, systemic, symbolic and inter-personal. We also try to develop new responses which could create fairer, safer and more sustainable societies, rather than exacerbating social inequalities.

To these ends, as individuals and as a team (including staff, students and PhD researchers), we work in ways that are critical and reflective but also actively engaged. We seek to collaborate creatively with other activists, people with lived experience, practitioners, policymakers and wider publics to build movements for change.
