Crime and Social Justice

Lanyon banner July 2018

Professor Shadd Maruna leads research exploring the antecedents of offending behaviours across the life course with an emphasis on the impact of traumatic life events and structural inequalities.

The research also seeks to better understand the behaviours of criminal justice and other systems for their role in controlling or exacerbating this offending. The overarching social justice perspective that characterises this work situates these questions in the wider socio-political contexts in which they occur.
