We are delighted to announce the appointment of Claire Hamilton as Professor of Criminology at Maynooth University Law Department. Claire joined the Department as a senior lecturer in 2015, and has been instrumental in setting up our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Criminology, which include Ireland’s only accredited Law and Criminology programme, and our very popular MA programme (open to non-law graduates).
Claire is the author/editor of four books, the most recent of which is the Routledge Handbook of Irish Criminology, and has published widely in various leading national and international journals including the British Journal of Criminology, Theoretical Criminology and the European Journal of Criminology. Claire recently completed a comparative research project into counter-terrorism funded by the Irish Research Council New Horizons Research Project Scheme.
