  • Professor Anthea Hucklesby, Head of the School of Social Policy, University of Birmingham; and
  • Professor Barry Goldson, Charles Booth Chair of Social Science, School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool.

The Committee’s role is to:

  • identify areas of potential research beneficial to the Commission and to the wider criminal justice system
  • issues calls for relevant research from external providers
  • assess ad hoc and unsolicited research proposals
  • monitor the progress of ongoing projects
