Centre of Criminology
Director: Professor C. Shearing
Centre profile
The Centre is a niche research unit within the Faculty of
Law at the University of Cape Town. Our research and
analysis in 2012 was organised around three principal
foci, namely, developments in policing; developments
in penal policy and the emergence of new environmental
risks and responses to them. A uniting theme is the
concern to ensure that the programmes contribute to
both theory development and to policy development and
implementation.
The Centre’s research programme builds on established
arenas within Criminology and established strengths within
the Centre of Criminology and is stretching the boundaries
of Criminology in ways that will enable it to recognise
and respond to the changing international and local risk
landscapes.
Research on policing at the Centre of Criminology is
concerned both with public police and private policing
developments in South Africa and in transitional contexts,
particularly in Africa.
