About the Centre
This centre is lead by a partnership between Glasgow , Stirling , Edinburgh, and Glasgow Caledonian Universities. We also work in alliance with a wider consortium of individuals and groups in Strathclyde , Aberdeen, Dundee and St Andrew's Universities and have worked in partnership with a range of higher education institutions and research centres.
The SCCJR is jointly funded for four years (2006- 2010) by the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council (SFC) and the Scottish Government, supported by commitments from the partner universities.
OBJECTIVES
The SCCJR has three inter-related aims:
- To improve the criminal justice research infrastructure and expand research capacity in Scottish HEIs
- To carry out an integrated programme of high quality criminal justice research which is relevant to Scotland's criminal justice needs.
- To make informed conceptual, methodological, and analytical contributions to theoretical thinking and policy development in criminal justice in Scotland and internationally, in order to achieve international recognition for Scottish research.
