Research

The crime science discipline focuses on tackling evolving practical challenges and meeting the needs of businesses and policymakers—including the rise of cybercrime and health-related hazards. Our work is guided by the University’s strategic research themes: One Health, Digital Society, and Smart City. We have strategically organized our activities into three research clusters: Crime Science; Marginalities and Mobilities; and Social Impact and Health Assessment. These clusters were established to cultivate a distinct regional research profile and to pioneer effective, timely solutions to contemporary challenges.

The discipline has developed global collaborative research and teaching partnerships through various forms of academic exchange. Research collaborations have been established with, for example, the Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science at University College London (UCL) and the Royal Thai Police.
