Colleen Moore's research activity

Colleen Moore is Principal Lecturer in Criminology and Deputy Head of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

Colleen has been teaching Criminology since 1999. Currently, she is responsible for teaching Violent Crime, Body and Mind (level 2); Sex, Sex Offending and Society (level 3), and Terror as Crime (level 4). She also co-teaches on Adventures in Crime News and Criminology (level 1) and Cultures of War and Peace (level 2). Colleen's teaching is innovative and aims to incorporate and utilise a range of less academically recognised traditional students' skills, such as film-making, news analysis, social networking and pressure group campaigns.

Colleen's work is concerned with the concept of justice and how it is understood in the Criminal Justice arena compared to society as a whole. Her main research interests are in understanding everyday 'violent' behaviour and its intended and unintended impact - upon victims and the community. Colleen is particularly interested in how justice is perceived, sought and achieved through the criminal justice process. Most recently, this has involved examining the behaviour and treatment of people charged with crimes related to sexual exploitation.
Colleen's past research has involved evaluating the effectiveness of Community Service, (before it was called Community Payback), young people and their treatment in the Youth Justice System, Parole and the Discretionary Lifer Process, the age of criminal responsibility in Europe, and a comparative examination of legislation in the UK and the Ukraine relating to trafficking for sexual exploitation. Currently, her work focuses upon the treatment of 'undesirable' female victims in the criminal justice system and alternatives to justice for victims of domestic (sexual) violence and sexual exploitation.

She participated in an international collaboration examining Youth Justice around the world, through the European Society of Criminology. More recently, she initiated and co-facilitated a project in a Young Offender's Institution that brought undergraduates and young offenders together to edit and produce short films.
