ECU's Criminology and Justice research encompasses two primary areas: one examines criminal activity, offenders, and general antisocial behavior, while the other explores policing methods and operational strategies.
Graduate research projects are designed collaboratively with either the postgraduate coordinator or a prospective advisor. A hallmark of ECU's research is its practical approach, prompting students to incorporate industry specialists into their advisory teams. We especially welcome applications from individuals passionate about: Law enforcement Juvenile delinquency Substance abuse and criminal activity Civil liberties Prison systems Current faculty projects address youth crime, law enforcement interactions with mentally ill individuals, interrogation techniques, informant handling, police misconduct, and officer mental health initiatives.
