Advancing our understanding of crime and criminal justice, including youth justice, is a key area of research enquiry by researchers based at the Scottish Centre for Crime & Justice (SCCJR) and the Centre for Youth & Criminal Justice (CYCJ), within the School of Social Work & Social Policy.
SCCJR seeks to advance this understanding through theoretical, empirical and applied research, working with communities and policy makers, while simulatneously fostering a national criminological research capacity. Specialisms include the role of violence, drugs and alcohol in crime and the criminal justice system. Meanwhile, CYCJ remains dedicated to supporting improvements in youth justice, contributing to better lives for individuals, families and communities. Research here focuses on improving youth justice practice, policy and research.
