Centre for Penal Theory and Ethics

Institute of Criminology

The Centre brings together leading scholars to explore central issues surrounding punishment and its justification. The Centre runs workshops and conferences, disseminating the outcomes of its work in a variety of venues, including the Centre’s own book series with Hart/Bloomsbury. The Centre seeks to contribute to the progress of young researchers and PhD students working in these areas and is alive to the value of interdisciplinary and of comparative approaches.
