Biography

I am a Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent’s School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research.

I am interested in processes of social inclusion and exclusion, how this relates to the phenomenon of othering and the way this plays out in the late modern period. I study moral panics, deviancy amplification, moral indignation and the punitive turn.

I am particularly interested in how these processes of essentialisation and dehumanisation can lead people to excessive violence in the areas of terrorism and conventional warfare. Such concerns link quite closely to cultural criminology and an interest in an existentially informed sociology.

Career
I began teaching at Enfield College of Technology and was a formerly professor at Middlesex University.
 
My published work includes:

• The Drugtakers 1971.
• The New Criminology 1973 (with I. Taylor and P. Walton).
• The Manufacture of News 1981 (with S. Cohen).
• What's to be Done About Law and Order? 1984 (with J. Lea).
• Rethinking Criminology: The Realist Debate 1992 (with R. Matthews).
• The Exclusive Society 1999.

Teaching

Current
 I convene the MA Criminology course and teach on it Theories of Crime and Deviance LW872. I contribute to the undergraduate criminology courses SO505, SO536 and SO305.

I am also writing up a course in critical criminology which is part of the Common Study Session taught in Athens, Rotterdam, Hamburg, London, Barcelona, Ghent and New York.

I have supervised a number of PhD students to completion.

Research

Research interests
I am interested in processes of social inclusion and exclusion, how this relates to the phenomenon of othering and the way this plays out in the late modern period. So this involves me in studying moral panics, deviancy amplification, moral indignation and the punitive turn.

I am particularly interested in how these processes of essentialisation and dehumanisation can lead people to excessive violence in the areas of terrorism and conventional warfare. Such concerns link quite closely to cultural criminology and an interest in an existentially informed sociology.

Current
I am working on two new books: Cultural Criminology: An Invitation (with Jeff Ferrell and Keith Hayward) and The Criminological Imagination (Oxford: Polity).
