CENTRE FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND POLICE STUDIES
The Centre for Criminal Justice and Police Studies has developed out of the Scottish Centre for Police Studies, formed in 2003 to take forward the Hamilton Campus’s long association with the Scottish Police Service in the field of policing research and education. As well as continuing to research and publish on various aspects of Scottish policing, the staff of the Centre also have research interests in the Scottish criminal justice system, prisons, money-laundering and asset recovery, and youth justice. In addition to these activities , the Centre is also active in providing opportunities for continuing professional development, consultancy and practitioner research.
