We are a group academics and researchers from the Criminology and Sociology subject group of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department based in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Law at Teesside University. Our teaching and scholarship is underpinned by a strong research culture, and our academic staff are internationally-recognised. We contribute extensively to national and international conferences, top-level peer-reviewed journals and have produced cutting-edge publications. Staff have a variety of research interests and are members of a range of international research networks.
The strength of our research within criminology and sociology is reflected in the recent national assessment of research performance across UK universities. The Research Excellence Framework (2014) found that 87% of the social policy submission made up of mainly Teesside’s criminologists and sociologists was ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. The submission ranked joint 5th out of 62 institutions for internationally excellent work. Our criminological and sociological research was also judged to have significant and high-quality impact in the real world.
