Criminology

Our growing Criminology list takes a critical stance and features boundary pushing work with innovative, research-led publications. It’s a fantastic time to be involved and we welcome interdisciplinary work, new and exciting research methods, theory-based texts and policy orientated publications.

A particular focus of the list are books that engage with our global social challenges, both on a local and international level. We aim to publish books in a wide range of formats that will have real impact and shape public discourse.

We’ve got a range of exciting series and we’re always looking to sign up more.

We also have dedicated a criminal justice and policing list, published under our Policy Press imprint.

If you are interested in writing for us, please see the Commissioning Editor information below.

Meet the Editor

Zoë Forbes, Commissioning Editor

I am the Commissioning Editor for Criminology and Law working across a broad range of books that situate global and social justice issues at their core. My previous experience includes editorial positions at Agenda and Routledge, then in 2021 I joined Bristol University Press and built up my commissioning experience within the Politics and International Relations list.

Having a role that allows me to be close to emerging academic research is a great privilege, and I enjoy developing book ideas with authors and supporting them throughout the writing process. It is very rewarding to work within a dedicated team at a publisher that puts quality and impact before profit.
