Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice (ICCJ) at Queen’s University Belfast. The Institute was established in 1995 within the School of Law to develop and promote criminological and criminal justice research aimed at informing policy and practice in Northern Ireland and beyond. Since 1995, the Institute has grown and developed into a cross-school research centre consisting of academics from the School of Law and School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work.
About Us
At its core, the ICCJ has a commitment to the interdisciplinary study of criminology and criminal justice from a range of perspectives, including those of law, sociology and psychology, among others. It fosters a culture of research excellence among its members by providing a supportive, collaborative, interdisciplinary environment within which to conduct research and study.
The ICCJ maintains a broad interdisciplinary status. While the ICCJ was originally housed in the School of Law, it is now a cross-school research centre, drawing its members from the School of Law and School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work. The ICCJ brings together academic staff, postdoctoral researchers and students who are interested in undertaking criminal justice related research and studying criminological topics. Read more
