Criminal Justice at Warwick:

The School of Law at Warwick has an established tradition in criminal justice research, boasting one of the strongest groups of criminal justice scholars in the UK. The range of interests and approaches of the members of that group are diverse and broad-ranging, but also overlapping. In addition to the school’s established research record in domestic and comparative criminal justice, we have particular research strength in criminal offences and criminalization, criminal responsibility, the law of evidence, criminal trials, the philosophy of punishment and international criminal law. Diverse approaches to criminal justice scholarship are taken at Warwick. We have a long-standing strength in empirical research, but scholars also adopt philosophical, comparative and more doctrinal approaches to the subject, as well as grounding their research in human rights.
