Scales of Justice

The Centre for the Study of Poverty and Social Justice

The Centre is one of seven specialist research centres at the University of Bristol's School for Policy Studies. It was formed in 1998 to provide a more integrative perspective on existing scholarship in criminal justice, socio-legal studies, poverty and social exclusion.

Our members come from a wide range of disciplines and have expertise in a number of policy areas with particular strengths in data analysis and social statistics.

You can find out more about our research, funders, projects and staff on these pages.
