Current and Recent Research Projects
Excellence in Research
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) found that 90% of the work of the Social and Administration Unit (of which Criminology is a part) was internationally recognised or excellent, with 5% getting a 4* world leading rating.
The Unit was also ranked 26 out of 66 universities in terms of research power which placed it ahead of some of the traditional universities such as Manchester, Leicester, Goldsmiths College, and Strathclyde.
Criminology was reported as a division having ‘particular strengths’.
