Publicerad 2024-06-23

We are seeking to recruit a Lecturer (Education) in Criminology to join the Criminology team at Queen’s University Belfast.

The School's overall vision is to establish a learning community dedicated to quality in teaching, research, scholarship, and practice, while also contributing to local and worldwide initiatives to make a social difference.

Criminology at Queen's is internationally renowned for its research and teaching excellence. Students at the School are educated in a dynamic, supportive environment by award-winning teachers who are dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.

Furthermore, Queen's University Belfast has a long tradition of excellence in criminology research and teaching, with a focus on youth justice, policing, victimology, international criminology justice, conflict, alcohol and drug use, trauma, and imprisonment.

We apply psychological and sociological approaches to better understand the causes of crime, society's responses to crime, and the repercussions of criminal behaviour. Special emphasis is also placed on the topic of whether current crime-fighting strategies are successful or may worsen offending.
