A Research Agenda for a Human Rights Centred Criminology

“This book is very well-rounded in its collection of very meaningful research done to explore this change in criminology. Each of the chapters brings new concepts to the agreement for a human rights centered criminology.  … This book allows future researchers to have a good understanding of what a human rights centered criminology should be and allows researchers to move in the right direction.” (Hannah Sinkko, International Criminal Justice Review, Vol. 36 (1), March, 2026)

“This edited volume is a vital read for anyone concerned with the intersection of criminology, human rights, and societal hierarchies. Its contributions span approaches, and it includes cutting-edge research on new frontiers of human rights and criminology—including contexts like aged care and public health. The editors have successfully and skillfully bridged both human rights and criminology, and this is a necessary read for anyone studying human rights, incarceration, or structural hierarchies more broadly.” (Matthew Rains, International Criminology, October 31, 2025)
