O’Neill Criminal Justice faculty seek to understand the causes, prevention, and control of criminal behavior, as well as the functioning and effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Their research draws on a variety of social science disciplines to investigate criminal behavior as well as evaluate policies and practices aimed at reducing crime and improving the justice system.
The O’Neill School’s faculty research places a strong emphasis on the intersection of social justice and criminal justice. It explores the impact of crime on marginalized and vulnerable populations and examines the ways in which the criminal justice system can work to address systemic issues of inequality and injustice.
