This programme is based in the UCD Institute of Criminology, the only centre of its kind in Ireland. Crime and punishment are issues of central importance to society and by bringing academic rigour to their examination the Institute contributes to the achievement of national priorities.

The work of the Institute has been the focus of debates in parliament, legislative and policy initiatives and numerous reports in the media.

Crime and punishment are issues of central importance to Irish society and by bringing academic rigour to their examination the Institute contributes to the achievement of national priorities. In recent years it has completed major studies of prisoner recidivism, public order offending, child pornography and trends in recorded crime.

The Institute draws together a critical mass of researchers from across UCD and acts as a focal point for the postgraduate community. It organises an invited lecture series each semester where leading scholars present and discuss the latest research findings to students and academic staff. This contributes to a vibrant research culture within the School of Law.
