Our centre
Co-Directors: Professor John Vorhaus and Dr Keri Wong
Our centre has an exclusive focus on education and the criminal justice system. We are a knowledge hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate on collecting, improving and disseminating the best and most promising evidence and practice in the field.
We engage with:
- education in a broad sense – formal, informal and non-formal education, training and learning
- the life course as a whole – a developmental approach to understanding the relationship between education, offending and desistance
- rights and justice – the rights of prisoners as citizens and learners entitled to high-quality and diverse learning opportunities.
The centre was formerly known as Centre for Education in the Criminal Justice System (CECJS).

Criminal Journeys: the Individual and the Environment
For undergraduate students we offer this module exploring views on what constitutes crime, how people become involved in the criminal justice system and what that involvement looks like.
